Counseling Services
Counselors and psychological services are available at each school in Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD) to assist students and parents with social, emotional, academic, and mental health issues.

Counseling Programs
K - 5 Counseling
Many schools participate in a counseling support program staffed by intern counselors under the supervision of licensed psychologists. With parent permission, counselors work with students for a number of social and emotional needs that may be affecting their learning.

6 - 12 Counseling
Intern counselors under the supervision of Adolescent Counseling Services (ACS) provide support to students. With parent permission, they work with students individually or in groups.

Three Session Referrals
Counselors, administrators, and psychologists may refer students and their parents to local counselors for additional support. Three counseling assessment sessions are provided at no cost to families.
