Aaron Cahill

Counselor

As a school counselor, I aim to advocate for all students and build relationships within the school community. Our mission at Chancey is to create a learning community where all students achieve at the highest academic level. Together (parents, teachers, staff, and community), we can work to tear down barriers that impede academic, emotional, and social success.

What is Counseling?

Counseling is a process that builds relationships and helps people cope with situations. Through counseling many feel empowered to make positive changes in their lives.
