Guidance

Middle School Guidance Office

Hello! I am Lisa McClain and I am the School Counselor for students at Independence Middle School. I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and my Master's degree in School Counseling, both from Cleveland State University. I have been a School Counselor for the past 8 years.

Getting to know your child is the most exciting part about my job. I meet all the students in 5th grade during 5th grade Guidance Class. Students may see me individually by stopping by my office or completing a counselor request sheet, located outside of my office. Throughout the year I provide various classroom guidance and small group guidance lessons. In the past I have facilitated groups dealing with organizational skills (Organizational Skills Boot Camp), tween issues (Girl Talk), and academics (Academic Boot Camp). I will be meeting with 6th grade students on a weekly basis during their HOPS rotation.

Parent communication is important to me and my door is always open. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at:
