Our names are Meagan Collins, Lisa Mayet, and Aaron Ashley Yorn. We are the counseling team at Parkview Baptist School.
We count it a great privilege to assist you in a variety of needs and challenges that often present themselves in the school and family setting. We offer mental health services to support students both in one-on-one and in group settings. We coordinate care with families, PBS teachers and administration, and outside counselors if necessary, to ensure your student’s emotional, spiritual, physical, and academic well-being. Students may be referred by teachers, administration, or parents by phone, email, or the counseling request form found at the bottom of this page.
I, Meagan, serve in the High School Division. I am an alumnus of PBS, Class of 2009. I earned my B.A. in Communication Disorders and Diseases with a minor in Psychology from Louisiana State University in 2013 and an M.S. in Social Work in 2016 from Louisiana State University with a specialization in Child and Youth Services. I am passionate about helping students find solutions to any barriers they may be faced with. I look forward to helping children and families achieve their goals and be the best versions of themselves. I often use play therapy, solution focused therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy in order to help those students struggling with peer conflict, academic problems, anxiety, stress management, family conflict, and behavior difficulties. I believe that meeting with the students will help them have healthy and nourishing relationships with God, themselves, their families, and other students.
I, Lisa, serve in the Middle School Division. I have been serving students and families as a counselor at PBS since 2017. I am an alumnus of PBS, Class of 2009, and I earned my B.S. in Psychology from LSU in 2013 and an M.A. in Marriage and Family Counseling from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in 2015. I am very passionate about working with the middle and high school age group and look forward to working with students and families to achieve their goals. I use solution focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, and psychoeducation with a Christ-centered lens to work with students struggling with behavioral, spiritual, emotional and academic difficulties. I believe in meeting students where they are and using God’s word in my interventions to lead them to healthier place emotionally, spiritually, and in their relationships with others.
I, Aaron-Ashley Yorn, graduated from Louisiana Tech University in 2011 with a Bachelor of Science in Family and Child Studies with a Child Life Concentration. At the start of my career, I worked as a Certified Child Life Specialist in a hospital setting for five years. After the birth of my son, I pursued my teaching certification through iTeach Louisiana, and I taught in the classroom for six years. I was so grateful for the opportunity to return to Child Life work at Parkview Baptist as a Child Life Specialist in the school setting. I am on the counseling team at PBS, serving PK3 through 4th grade. My background is rooted in child development, and I see children through a developmental lens. I think of my work as being a kind of child translator. I’m always asking what a child needs to best communicate, participate, and express themselves emotionally. Sometimes words aren’t a child’s first language. What they show us in play, art, or with visuals and hands-on materials can open up important conversations. That helps with meltdowns, hurt feelings, grief, and hard things at home, as well as broader developmental questions when a pattern doesn’t resolve as easily as it does for other children. I look for your child’s strengths and gifts too, not only the struggles. You know your child best. Please reach out about big feelings, friendship struggles, worry about school, grief or loss, a change at home, difficulty with routines, or any developmental question, even if it feels small. We work closely with teachers and with you as a team. When a need goes beyond what we can support at school, we are glad to help you think through next steps and community supports that might fit, such as outside counseling, occupational therapy, or speech support.
If you have a question about your student’s behavior, development, academic success, or other concerns; need resources; or would like to pursue school counseling please let us know. Also, know that your confidentiality is our top priority. Limitations to confidentiality include: 1) suspicion that a student or parent will harm self, 2) suspicion or knowledge that student or parent intends to harm someone else, 3) suspicion or knowledge of neglect or abuse of a child or elderly person, 4) subpoena by a court of law, and 5) if the guardian requests or gives permission to counselor to disclose client information to another for the well-being or coordination of care with another party.
In Christ,
