Mrs. Taylor Turner

About Your Elementary School Counselor

The most important thing to know about me is that I am a wife and a proud mother of four—two boys and two girls. I have a lifelong passion for working with children. From a young age, I knew my purpose was to nurture, support, and help children feel safe and valued.

I attended Tarleton State University, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, followed by a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Through this program, I gained the knowledge and training to work as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) while also preparing to serve as a school counselor.

Prior to joining Ranger ISD, I worked as a youth case manager with Pecan Valley Centers, serving Hood and Palo Pinto counties. In this role, I became a Qualified Mental Health Professional (QMHP), developing treatment plans alongside clients, providing skills training, and responding to crisis situations. This experience played a significant role in shaping my approach to supporting students and families.

I believe in building strong, open relationships with the families I serve. I am an open book, so if you would ever like to know more about me or how I can support your student, please don’t hesitate to reach out

Comprehensive School Counseling Program

The Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs indicates that the needs of all students and the school system itself are met through four components: Guidance Curriculum,  Individual Planning, Responsive Services, and System Support. This framework allows counselors to deliver consistent, high-quality services that meet the diverse needs of all students across the district.

Guidance Curriculum

  • Teach students to develop transferable skills for success
  • Typically taught in the classroom through planned lessons

Individual Planning

  • Assist students in making individual goals for their academic and career futures
  • Provide parents and guardians with information on postsecondary education

Responsive Services

  • Intervene on behalf of students whose circumstances put their educational, career, personal, and social development at risk
  • May be preventative, remedial, or crisis-oriented

System Support

  • Identify and coordinate resources and activities that indirectly benefit students
  • Assess data to support an effective school counseling program
