Message From Director of Counseling
The counselors assist cadets to graduate with competencies necessary to make self-directed, realistic and responsible decisions, and be successful contributors to our society. We hope to be a resource for cadets as they experience a time of growth, accomplishment, and change while preparing to lead lives of service and excellence.
We look forward to working with all cadets, parents, staff, and local community at the Academy as we build partnerships to promote the academic, personal/social, and career development for each cadet.
Social and emotional development affects academic growth at every age and the counselors play a critical role in helping provide support to cadets through classroom guidance lessons, group activities, one-on-one counseling sessions and school wide counseling initiatives.

Cadets Helping Cadets - A Closer Look at the Academy's Peer Counseling Program
Peer Counseling was developed because often students seek out their friends or peers when they are experiencing a problem in their teenage years. Army and Navy Academy Peer Counselors are selected annually through a corps of cadets survey.
Potential Peer Counselors are identified to become involved in the program if they are someone their peers would approach for assistance with a problem. Academy Peer Counselors attend an intense two-day training program by the Academy's Counseling department on listening and helping skills. Peer Counselors are also trained by staff counselors on how to identify if a cadet's dilemma should be referred to an adult counselor. These Cadets are easily identified on campus by their blue and orange chord.
