Mrs. Phillips

My name is Ginger Phillips and I am very excited to be entering my third year as the school counselor at Mabry.  I graduated from Clemson University in 2006 with a Bachelors degree in Psychology and again in 2009 with a Masters degree in School Counseling.  I am also a Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF).

My Philosophy of Counseling

As the School Counselor at Mabry Middle School I believe that all students have the right to learn in a safe environment that fosters their personal, social, academic, and career growth.  To facilitate this growth, all students have open access to the counselor through a self-referral and teacher-referral system.  Also, through classroom guidance lessons, all students receive information on developmentally appropriate topics.  I believe all students deserve the right to learn in an environment that is respectful of their individuality.  Therefore, I believe in a student-centered approach to individual counseling.  Through the use of solution-focused techniques, I work with students to aid them in solving their own problems in developmentally appropriate ways.  I believe in involving all stakeholders in the development of the Guidance and Counseling Program.  It takes a team approach to foster the development of the whole child so I work closely with administrators, teachers, staff, and parents to provide the highest quality counseling program possible.
