Discrete Help

Finding a counselor or psychologist specifically is something that people often want to do privately. It is typically not something that one asks a friend. Most people find one of our counselors or psychologist through Google or Bing rather than through a friend. For that same reason, we see many couples from Ponte Vedra Beach for counseling as they are unlikely to run into a neighbor in our lobby based on the mix of clientele at our counseling office. We also offer a back entrance for individuals that have extra concern about privacy. The processing of your initial appointment can be conducted completely remotely and then you can slip in and out the back door if so desired.

For those seeking counseling in Ponte Vedra Beach that do not want to drive the five miles to our office and are reluctant to enter any psychologist or counselor’s office, we offer telephone counseling, and counseling by Skype and FaceTime. We will custom fit you with what ever type of counseling you are seeking.

We provide marriage, couples, family and individual counseling for adults, children, and adolescents.  Please contact our office at 904-379-8094 if you have any questions.

When a student makes a threat at school what do you do

When a Student Makes a Threat at School, What Do You Do? When a student makes a threat within a school environment, it’s a critical moment that demands a swift, comprehensive, and nuanced response. As psychologists, it’s clear that such situations are complex and involve numerous factors, including the mental health of the student, the safety of the school community, and legal considerations. Here are key steps schools should take in response to a threat: Immediate Action and Assessment
Ensure Immediate Safety: The first priority is to ensure the safety of all students and staff. This may involve securing the area, notifying security personnel, and possibly even a temporary lockdown, depending on the nature and severity of the threat. Evaluate the Threat: It’s essential to quickly assess the credibility and specificity of the threat. This involves determining whether the student has the means, motive, and opportunity to carry out the threat. Professionals trained in threat assessment should be involved in this process.
Involving the Right Resources. Mental Health Evaluation: A critical next step is to have the student evaluated by a mental health professional. This evaluation can help determine the underlying issues contributing to the threat, such as emotional distress, psychological disorders, or external pressures. Collaboration with Law Enforcement: In cases where the threat is deemed credible and specific, it’s crucial to involve law enforcement agencies. They can provide additional security, guidance, and ensure that any legal requirements are met.
