A place to be and become

Hello all, I'm Mandy Ritcheson! I believe school counseling is about walking alongside students as they grow - not rushing them, not fixing them, but supporting them as they discover their own strengths. 

​

As a graduate of Lee University, I am dedicated to developing counseling programs that are comprehensive, culturally responsive, and grounded in data-informed practice. At the same time, I believe the heart of this profession is relational - students grow best when they feel safe, valued, and understood.

​

To me, this work is about showing up consistently, listening carefully, advocating boldly. And believing in students, even when they are still learning to believe in themselves.
