Hello Del Obispo Dragons!
My name is Georgina Alonso and this is my 8th year as Del Obispo's school counselor. I am here to support all students in their social-emotional, academic and college/career growth. School counseling supports children's skill development in areas like managing their emotions, communicating their needs, building self-esteem, improving their problem-solving abilities, and more. I am also here to help students develop coping skills to manage things like academic stress, peer conflict, significant life events such as losing a loved one (pets included), coping with family changes or moving.
Some of the services I provide include:
-Classroom Second Step Lessons in TK-5th
-Short-term Individual Counseling
-Short-term Group Counseling
-Crisis Intervention
-Conflict Mediation
-Lunch Bunches and Workshops
-Positive Behavior Support
-Resouces and Referrals
To participate in counseling services, students can be referred by their parent(s), teachers/staff members or can self-refer. The referral links can be found on the left hand side of this webpage. If a teacher refers or student self-refers, I will send home a consent form with details about the services expected. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns and I would be happy to help!
Mrs. Alonso

Second Step is designed to build a foundation of social-emotional skills such as empathy, emotion management, decision making and problem solving to increase student's success in schools and prepare them to become responsible citizens.
