Counseling

At Mount Carmel Academy, the Counseling Department plays a vital role in guiding students through the academic, personal, and spiritual journey of adolescence. Built on compassion, individual attention, and long-term relationships, our program supports students from 8th through 12th grade.

Reflecting the school’s mission to form women of faith, wisdom, and character, the Counseling Program provides personalized support with a focus on each student’s future. Walking side by side with students, our counselors nurture growth, confidence, and purpose as young women become the individuals God calls them to be.

Counseling that Connects

Comprehensive Support

Mount Carmel Academy’s counseling program is supported by:

  • 8 full-time counselors
  • 1 college scholarship coordinator

Upon entering Mount Carmel, each student is paired with a counselor who remains with them throughout high school, providing continuity of care and fostering a trusted relationship. Counselors work with students and families to offer support in academics, spiritual growth, college preparation, and personal development.
