Counseling Services

Hi! I’m Natalie Brittain, and I love being a school counselor! I believe in fostering a collaborative and supportive partnership between school and home. Your involvement is key to your child’s success, and I’m so excited to work with you to ensure that their educational experience is enriching and fulfilling.

I enjoy integrating expressive arts into my work with students, encouraging them to share their feelings, thoughts, and experiences in creative and meaningful ways. Please feel free to message me on ParentSquare or reach out by email (natalie_brittain@catawbaschools.net)— I look forward to connecting with you!

Counseling Program

Individual Counseling – I meet one-on-one with students to target a specific need, such as a death in the family, academic concerns, friendship issues, etc. 

Character Building Small Groups – Small groups meet over a span of 6-10 weeks and focus on a specific topic that relates to selected students’ needs (Resiliency, Friendship, Respect, Worry/Anxiety, Social Skills). A permission form will be sent home with students who are recommended for small group services with more information.

Classroom Lessons– I will stop by classrooms for mini-lessons with students throughout the school year. Lessons are designed to meet students' developmental level and unique needs.
