COUNSELOR: Abuse claims unfounded

As a former Coeur d’Alene School Board member and having had a mental health counseling practice for decades in Coeur d’Alene, it is my opinion that the allegation of “abuse” or unprofessionalism of a Coeur d’Alene School District elementary school counselor as noted in the article in Sunday’s Press, and at a public “Stop the Abuse” rally on Monday, and online is not supported by the facts.
