Counselor's Corner - Nixon Middle School

Pasquier picture

Hi! My name is Abi Pasquier and I am your Middle School Counselor! I am an LPC-Associate (supervised by Brenda Elledge, LPC-S, Ph.D.) and have been counseling since 2023. I am honored to be a support, listening ear, and advocate for middle school students. Middle School can be a difficult and exciting time of transition of learning oneself, navigating healthy friendships, and managing emotions. I hope to be a safe place for students to help them develop new skills, improve relationships, grow in confidence, and be successful now and for the future!

With that, I am here to help! If your student needs support, I am available and happy to meet with students. Please feel free to fill out the Staff/Parent Middle School Counselor Referral Form below for a referral for your student. If you are a middle school student and would like to come talk more with me, please fill out the Student Middle School Counselor Request Form.

Parents, if you or your child is in life-threatening danger, please call 911. 

You can also call 988 to talk to an on-call crisis counselor if it cannot wait.
