Mental Health Guidance
At LCA we recognize the importance of mental well-being in a student’s overall success. I am Erica Bush and am the LCA school counselor.
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Muskingum University and a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Dayton.
I am here to create a safe space where students can openly discuss their feelings, manage stress, and develop coping strategies through individual and group counseling. In addition to counseling, I will be teaching monthly lessons for grades 1-5 focusing on values such as kindness, friendship, and gratitude.
Integrating psychological insights with Christian compassion, I strive to promote emotional resilience and a healthy mindset.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
