Our Counseling Program
As the Bear Branch School Counselor, I have the privilege of working with all of our amazing students! Humble ISD's Personalized Counseling approach allows me to meet with every Bear Branch student one-on-one during this school year. In these meetings, students will explore their strengths, goals and aspirations.
I also implement the Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs. This model delivers counseling services in the following areas:
Any student can request to meet with me or they can be referred by a teacher, administrator, or parent. I encourage you to reach out if you have concerns regarding your child. Please click the link below and fill out the Parent Referral Form to express your concerns or refer your student for school counseling services.

**Confidentiality** Please note that all information discussed is confidential between me and your child, unless they are planning on hurting themselves, hurting someone else or someone is hurting them.
Please feel free to call me, or stop in so that we can meet face to face. I can be reached by julianna.wimberly@humbleisd.net or by phone at (281) 641-1607.
