Counselor Chat
Alyse Corradetti, Blue Creek Elementary School Counselor
Hello and welcome to the 2016-2017 school year! I am very excited to continue as the School Counselor at Blue Creek Elementary.
What exactly does an Elementary School Counselor do?
Much like the school nurse, my services are available to ALL students, not just those with a social-emotional issue or in a crisis. It is my job to help ensure that students are happy and doing their best at school. Many factors are involved with a student doing well, such as their ability to focus and pay attention, their relationships with peers and teachers, how well they can manage their feelings and impulses, and their lives outside of school. I address these issues using individual or small group counseling, as well as classroom guidance lessons and even school wide programs like Red Ribbon Week or Random Acts of Kindness Week. Students can think of me like a coach who helps them solve their problems.
How can students meet with me?
Students needing to meet in an individual session can be scheduled as needed and/or requested by the student, teacher, parent, or administration. Parents can also use an online referral form located on my website, to refer a student to see the counselor.
If you have questions or would like to talk with me I can be reached by phone
910-347-1717, email alyse.corradetti@onslow.k12.nc.us or just a note from home.

How are you different from a therapist at an outside agency?
I frequently see children just once or twice, or in the classroom setting rather than my office. Although I do often help children with family problems and behaviors at home, my primary role is to deal with school related problems. Sometimes an issue is better addressed more intensively in a therapeutic setting, and with greater direct parental involvement. Contact me if you'd like assistance or to recommend an outside therapist for your child.
