The Resource We Wish We'd Had

There comes a point in every school counselor's career when you realize that graduate school prepared you for many things—but not necessarily for everything.

The unexpected conversations.

The impossible balancing act.

The extra responsibilities.

The moments when you're the only counselor in the building, wondering if you're making the right decision.

Those experiences inspired us to write A Survival Guide for Rural School Counselors and Solo Practitioners.

We didn't write another school counseling textbook.

We wrote the resource we wish someone had handed us during our first year—a practical guide filled with real stories, field-tested strategies, and tools that can be put into practice immediately.

Although we wrote this book with rural school counselors and solo practitioners in mind, one piece of feedback has surprised us the most:

"This isn't just for rural school counselors. It's for ALL school counselors."

That means the world to us.

If you've ever felt stretched thin, worn too many hats, questioned your impact, or simply needed a reminder that you're not alone in this work, we hope this book becomes a trusted resource on your bookshelf.

📘 The book is now available on Amazon and, after just a few days, has risen to the top of the charts.

If you've already purchased a copy, thank you! We'd love to hear whose story you're reading first. If you haven't yet, we hope you'll take a look and see why school counselors across the country are adding it to their professional libraries.

Question for you:

What's one lesson you wish every new school counselor learned before their first day on the job?
