Guidance
Our Counselor
Jaime Williams
Hello Winfield Families!
My name is Jamie Williams; I am the school counselor at Winfield Elementary. I will be working with students throughout the year within their classrooms, small groups, and individually (when needed). My goal is that each student feels supported not only when they are having tough days, but every day, so they can be successful within their classrooms and beyond!
I have earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Master’s degree in Education specializing in School Counseling. I joined the Winfield team in 2019.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have. I look forward to being another resource and partner for our families!

How do children see the School counselor?
Usually it’s by recommendation of the classroom teacher and/or the parent. Often, children will approach the counselor themselves and ask if they can see her.
What exactly does a school counselor do?
Much like the school nurse, counseling services are available to ALL students, not just those with an emotional disability or in a crisis. The counselor can address issues using individual or small group counseling, as well as classroom lessons. The school counselor is an adult in the building with whom students are never “in trouble.”
