My name is Brooke Allender Radech, and I am excited to be the school counselor for Eagle Ridge. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in psychology education from St. Ambrose University, and my Master’s in counseling from Western Illinois University. I am also a National Certified Counselor, specializing in counseling children and adolescents. My counseling “toolbox” includes narrative therapy, solution-focused techniques, as well as art, play, and sandtray therapies.
When I am not counseling individual students or conducting small group sessions, you will find me in the classroom teaching important social-emotional topics to students K-8th grade. This year our team is implementing PBIS, as well as focusing on enforcing a zero-tolerance bullying policy.
In my free time, I spend time with my husband, Lucas and our two-year old son, Behren. I love to speak German with my international friends, and look forward to more trips abroad! In the future, I would like to introduce a pet therapy/assistance dog into the school, because I have seen the benefits for students and staff firsthand. Please stop by my office anytime – the door is (almost) always open! Please watch for a weblink with information regarding current information about the counseling program at Eagle Ridge.
