Counselor Clique Professional Development

Counselor Clique is a professional development and resource platform designed exclusively for high school counselors, offering implementation-focused training paired with ready-to-use, downloadable counseling resources. Created by Lauren, a self-described 'High School Counseling Hype Girl,' the platform addresses a significant gap in professional development that speaks directly to the daily reality of high school counseling — where counselors juggle academic advising, social-emotional support, college and career guidance, and crisis intervention, often with limited time and resources. The platform's flagship offering, The Clique Collaborative, provides a professional learning community where high school counselors can earn PD credits while engaging in relevant, practical training. Resources are data-driven and aligned with the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Model, ensuring that materials meet professional standards while being immediately usable in real counseling programs. Topics include small group curricula for issues like stress management, coping skills, and student confidence-building — all designed specifically for the high school context. Beyond formal professional development, Counselor Clique also hosts the High School Counseling Conversations® podcast, covering relevant topics for busy counselors who want to stay current and connected. For high school counselors seeking creative, energising professional development that actually reflects the complexity of their role, Counselor Clique offers a unique combination of practical resources, professional community, and the kind of encouragement that helps counselors remember why they love their work.
