Welcome to Mr. Wadham's Counseling Corner

A school counselor’s work is multifaceted. We guide, teach, encourage, and lead as needed. Sometimes you’ll find us with a student in an individual counseling session, or teaching a classroom lesson about emotional literacy, communication skills, or conflict management.

School Counselor with Green Thumbs Club

Our school counselors are here to support every student’s academic, social, and emotional growth. From individual sessions to classroom lessons, we guide students in building essential skills like emotional literacy, communication, and conflict resolution. We work closely with teachers, administrators, and community agencies to address each child’s well-being through a “whole child” approach that nurtures overall wellness.

Using programs like the Zones of Regulation, BOLD, and Timber initiatives, we foster strong connections and a healthy balance across academic, social, and emotional needs. When additional support is needed, we’re ready to connect families with helpful resources—because at Oakwood, No Lumberjack Is Alone.
