Counselor

My name is Kristen LaRosa, and I am proud to be your school counselor! I grew up in Tucson, and attended schools in the Marana Unified School District. I earned my MEd in School Counseling from Northern Arizona University in 2017, and I was thrilled to return to MUSD to complete my counseling internship as part of that program. I have a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Arizona, and an elementary teaching certificate as well. 

I have been a proud Dust Devil for several years now. We have an incredibly positive, welcoming environment at our school. I am passionate about helping all of our students to be successful and supporting our community. I teach lessons to each class every other week. I also provide short-term small group and one-on-one counseling when needed. 

The topics I cover include goal setting, self-esteem/empowerment, conflict resolution, resisting peer pressure, friendship skills, managing emotions, adjusting to change, solving problems/decision making, personal safety, and more. I am always happy to support students, families, and staff. Counseling is truly a passion and a calling for me. If you need someone to talk to, I will be here to listen. If you need help or resources outside of school, I can help you get in touch with the right people. Please don’t hesitate to reach out!
