Mission: 

The school counseling program at Tubman delivers intentional, individualized, evidenced-based, data-informed activities and interventions that remove academic, career and social/emotional barriers, helping all students reach proficiency in all subject areas. 

About the Counselors: 

Hello, I am Ms.Sotelo and I am so happy to be a part of the Harriet Tubman Charter Village School Tiger family! I first started my journey as a preschool teacher. Then later I decided I wanted to give more back to my community and serve as an advocate for all students. I am very excited to start this new year and get to know all your students. We have a passion for students reaching their full potential. We are here to listen, advocate, and help give your students the skills they need to succeed.

When to refer a student:

Mrs. Sotelo is trained to provide short term, solution focused counseling as well as small groups varying in topics such as anxiety, conflict resolution, study/organization skills, anger management, calming down methods, career exploration, and many more. If you notice that your child is struggling in any of these areas in school, please contact your assigned counselor and we can work together to develop a plan to set up your student leader up for success. If you notice your child is struggling in these areas in the home, please contact us and we can refer you to outside resources.
