Molly Robinson, Guidance Counselor
     419-865-9408   mrobinson@anthonywayneschools.org

As Monclova’s school counselor, I’m part of your child’s education team.  Like a teacher, a counselor looks for ways to help each child be successful, confident and happy.  Counselors are human behavior and relationship specialists who have a commitment to individual uniqueness and the maximum development of human potential.  Elementary Counselors deal with a broad spectrum of issues:  from very small issues ~ like a playground shoving match ~ to much more serious issues like mental health ~ such as childhood anxiety, depression, or the effects of childhood abuse/trauma ~ as well as everything in between. Common areas of focus include: emotional health, social skill building, parenting guidance, academic support, behavior, divorce/family stressors, anger management and conflict resolution.  If you have any questions or concerns that you would like to share, I can be reached daily from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at (419) 865-9408 or by email.
