My name is Ms. Emily and I am the school counselor here at Irving Elementary. Having worked for 17 years in mental health before transitioning to education, I understand struggles that students face and want to make sure that they have every opportunity to reach their fullest potential. I try my best to meet the individual needs of students and families, while working to remove barriers so every student can be successful.
As a parent or guardian, please feel free to call or message me anytime to talk about concerns or questions. It is my job to help your student feel supported.
All the best,
Emily Mosteller

Offered Services:
Individual Counseling
I am happy to offer support to students individually, when needed. In an individual counseling session, solution focused work is key, while incorporating empathy and equity. Students are able to problem-solve, work on individual skills and express their concerns in a safe space. Students can be referred by a parent or teacher, or they can self-refer by coming to check in with me during the day.
Small Group Counseling
Small group counseling is an important way to help students who are dealing with similar issues. Staff help to identify students with similar issues during our grade level meetings. Small groups usually meet once a week for six sessions and vary throughout the school year based on student needs.
Sample Group Themes:
- Anxiety
- Friendship/Social Skills
- Conflict Resolution
- Emotion Regulation
- Problem-Solving
- Self-Esteem
- Growth Mindset
- Self-Control
- Mindfulness
Classroom Lessons
Classroom lessons are an important part of a comprehensive school counseling program because it gives the counselor a chance to reach every student throughout the school year. Lesson information is also sent home to parents and guardians so everyone can be on the same page. Having conversations at home help to reinforce the skills being taught at school. Topics will include conflict management, bullying, kindness, growth-mindset, and career readiness. Each classroom will receive around 10 lessons throughout the year!
