Students are encouraged to fill out a "Counselor Time" slip located in the counseling center when they need to see us for any reason, and we also welcome requests from parents/guardians and school staff. The main topics we discuss with students are academic advising/planning, school performance, as well as personal and social issues. I am proud to be a source of support for the Lakes community. Please let me know if there is anything you need.

Emma Young, M.S. School Counseling
Hi! My name is Emma Young and I am a counselor at Lakes serving students with last names H through O. I completed my undergraduate degree at Gonzaga University in Spokane (GoZags!) and then continued to my education at Eastern Washington University in Cheney where I received my Masters of Science in Counselor Education.
I welcome the opportunity to work with both families and students in order to serve their academic, social, and emotional needs. I became a school counselor because I am passionate about giving our students the skills and support necessary to be healthy, happy and successful individuals. If students have a concern and wish to meet with me, there are "Counselor Time" slips located in the front office that they may fill out. If a aprent or guardian has a question or concern, please feel free to call or e-mail me and I will touch base with you as soon as possible.

Natalie Taylor, M.A. School Counseling
My name is Ms. Natalie Taylor and I am a school counselor serving students with last names P-Z. This will be my first year at Lakes Middle School, and I am so excited to join the Wolverines! Prior to Lakes, I completed my Bachelor degree at Evergreen State College in 2019, and continued on to complete a Master of Arts in School Counseling at Gonzaga University (Go Zags!). Middle school is a time of immense growth and change and it is my pleasure to support the academic planning, college/career development, social-emotional and personal needs of students as they make their way through Lakes. I strive to support students in working towards our guiding principles; relationships, rigor, and relevance.
It is also important to me as a school counselor to help students feel seen, heard, and valued that serve as contributing members of our school and community. Students are encouraged to fill out a “Counselor Time” slip in the front office if they would like to see us for any questions, concerns, or are in need of support in other ways. Parents/guardians are welcome to call, email, or schedule a time to meet with me in-person or virtually. I look forward to a wonderful school year and to get to know the students and families that make up Lakes Middle School.
