Welcome to Ms. Munoz's Counseling Corner
Welcome Everyone! My name is Ms. Muñoz and I am so excited to be your school counselor this year. I completed my Bachelors in Sociology at UCR and my Masters in Educational Counseling at the University of La Verne.
As your school counselor, I can help you with academic, social/emotional, and college/career domains. What does this mean? I can help solve problems, deal with life changes, listen to concerns, help you make friends and finding a career that is right for you.
I look to having an amazing year! I believe in you!

PROGRAM GOALS
EMCSD’s Credentialed Counseling Program’s goals are organized and aligned with ASCA’s three domains: academic development, career development, and social-emotional development. These domains promote mindsets and behaviors that augment the learning process and create a culture that promotes college readiness, career readiness, and life readiness.

- To support students in understanding the relationship between academics, post-secondary options, home life, and community involvement.
Career Goals:
- To support students in acquiring self-awareness of their abilities, skills, interests, and motivations to investigate post-secondary options and make informed decisions.
- To support students in employing strategies to obtain post-secondary goals with success not at the expense of satisfaction.

Social-Emotional Goals:
- To support students in acquiring the self knowledge and interpersonal skills to help them to better understand themselves and to also learn to better understand others.

- To support students in acquiring the personal safety skills necessary to successfully navigate through challenging situations and serve as a buffer from the effects of adversity.
