School Counselor and LGPC

ALEXIS THOMPSON
ABOUT
I am a school counseling professional and Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor (LGPC) with experience at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. I currently work at Rochambeau, the French International School, specializing in the primary campuses but collaborating in interventions across grade levels (PreK - 12). I believe that every student has the potential for success, although some have to face more barriers than others. As a school counselor, I see it as my responsibility to help remove the barriers that I can and help students devise creative ways around systemic barriers that cannot be immediately removed.
