My Story

My name is Kim Shaw.  I have been a School Counselor for the last 10 years.  I graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with a minor in English.  I then went on to Villanova University, where I earned a Master of Science degree in Counseling and Human Relations.  I am certified in Elementary and Secondary School Counseling in the states of Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland.  I interned at Tredyffrin/Easttown School District in Pennsylvania at Valley Forge Middle School.  I worked for 9 years as an Elementary School Counselor at Collegium Charter School in Exton, Pennsylvania.  I worked as an Elementary School Counselor at a National School of Character, Lyles Crouch Traditional Academy, in Alexandria, Virginia for 1 year.  I am pleased to be returning to Pennsylvania AND middle school counseling and will start at Exeter Township Junior High in the 2014-2015 school year.

I read ALL the time.  I LOVE books.  I run a book club in Chester & Montgomery County, Pa:

This is my first attempt at blogging.  I created this blog to share my thoughts on books related and unrelated to counseling.  There is nothing more powerful than bibliotherapy.  Books teach us so many things!  I also wanted to share counseling lessons, musings and materials. Welcome to my blog!
