Welcome to Holmes Counseling! 


Counselors

As you may know, your counselors provide support in the areas of personal/social, academic, and career/college. We are looking forward to visiting you in your classes, seeing you out and about on campus, and having you come to our offices to chat about any of the above. Here’s to a great, healthy and safe year!
