WELCOME TO MIHS Counseling

9100 SE 42nd Street Mercer Island, WA 98040

What does our team do?

High school years are full of growth, promise, excitement, frustration, disappointment and hope. It is the time when students begin to discover what the future holds for them and that can be overwhelming. Fortunately, the MIHS counselors are here to help and support all students and families. MIHS Counselors assist students in areas such as academic achievement, personal/social development,  college and career planning and much more!

In addition, MIHS students can access mental health counseling services through Mercer Island Youth and Family Services (MIYFS) school-based counselors. MIYFS mental health counselors offer MIHS students a safe, confidential place to meet on a drop-in or ongoing basis. Two full-time MIYFS mental health counselors are located at the R&R Place in the high school (across from the MIHS main office). Students can seek confidential support and guidance around the many issues and concerns facing adolescents today such as anxiety, symptoms of depression, stress, substance use/abuse, and relational issues at no-cost.
