My name is Shivana Ellis, and I am the School Counselor at P.S. 93 The Magnet School of S.T.E.A.M. I am passionate about working with children, and I believe they should be heard and seen. My vision is that the school counseling program will support all students with the necessary skills to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. My goal is to help all students by supporting, listening, and advocating for them. Most of my work stems from person-centered support guided by Carl Rogers who believed that people have the potential within themselves to grow and achieve. This approach is built upon individuality, independence, privacy, partnership, choice, dignity, respect, rights, equality, and diversity. My aim is to collaborate with families, staff, and community stakeholders to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education. I believe in our slogan, “Teamwork, together we achieve the extraordinary.” Together, we can believe and achieve that P.S. 93 is a foundation to build our students of the future.
