CounselorSims
Simulations for Current and Aspiring Counselors

School counselors play a crucial role in fostering student well-being, providing guidance, and addressing complex social, emotional, and academic challenges. Yet, no two students share the same path to success. CounselorSims offers a dynamic, interactive learning experience that helps counselors navigate these complexities with confidence, adaptability, and empathy.

Unlike traditional training manuals or case studies, CounselorSims immerses counselors in realistic, scenario-based decision-making. Participants explore challenging situations, make critical choices, and reflect on the outcomes—all in a risk-free environment. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, simulations strengthen judgment, enhance problem-solving skills, and deepen the understanding of student needs. By fostering conscious competence and addressing implicit bias, CounselorSims equips counselors with the tools to provide impactful, student-centered support.
