School Counseling Staff Directory

The Medford Public Schools Counseling Department uses a whole student approach to provide mental health services, academic and post-secondary support and connections to community resources. We work closely with school staff, parents and the community to provide comprehensive support for students. Our mission is to help students be successful in navigating the exciting and evolving world around them.

Counseling services are available in all schools and through referral to community providers for students who require services to support their academics.

The School Counseling Staff Directory provides contact information for school counselors, psychologists and other school-based professionals who are available to support students. Select from the “Location” menu for a list of staff at a particular school.
