For Real Life
Counseling
Building School Counseling Programs that support Students, Communities, and School Counselors
Are you a school counselor feeling overwhelmed by the endless responsibilities and emotional toll?
You're not alone. As a new counselor, I was so stuck within the myth that I needed to do everything. Be everything. Fix everything. I was well on my way to burn out.
I needed to make a change. Using the ASCA Model as my guide, I started using data to make decisions and build systems that empower staff. I was able to make a sustainable program that doesn’t allow emergencies to take over the day-to-day. I’ve been able to prioritize progress, not perfection, and make my own well being a part of the program.
This mindset helps me to really lean into the message that is at the heart of my practice: "...when you know better, do better." - Maya Angelou.
Remember that you are at the heart of your practice. I developed statewide and nationally acclaimed programs that not only help students thrive, but help school counselors thrive by reconnecting with their passions by building manageable, sustainable programs that will continue to serve students for years to come. I can help you find ways to know better and do better.
Hello, I’m
Cindy Bourget!
I am a school counselor who understands that sometimes we minimize “real life.” While we want everything to work wonderfully all the time, situations, relationships, resources, and the day to day create challenges. My focus is on using data, systems, empathy, and resiliency to support school counselors in building manageable programs that help all students succeed in real life. Let’s be real– we can do school counseling,
“For Real Life.”
community, resilience, and growth
Rooted in tradition that allows every access in the years to come
