The following is the Role Statement of the American School Counselors Association:

The School Counselor

The school counselor is a certified professional educator who assists students, teachers, parents and administrators. Three generally recognized helping processes used by the counselor are counseling, consulting and coordinating:

1. Counseling is a complex helping process in which the counselor establishes a trusting and confidential working relationship. The focus is on problem-solving, decision-making, and discovering personal meaning related to learning and development;


2. Consultation is a cooperative process in which the counselor-consultant assists others to think through problems and to develop skills that make them more effective in working with students;


3. Coordination is a leadership process in which the counselor helps organize and manage a school's counseling program and related services.
