We also want to welcome back to the Indian Hill High School Counseling department, Mr. Lateef Johnson. Mr. Johnson returns to his former counseling position, with a new group of students. He previously advised students with last names A - E, but he now is assigned to all students with last names S - Z. He also will be the point person for our ELL students in grades 9 - 11.
WELCOME SARAH HAN
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in a school-based setting, I am dedicated to helping children and adolescents overcome challenges such as anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, and life stressors. I believe childhood and adolescence are important times for growth, learning, and positive change. I support individuals during their formative years by building resilience, developing coping skills, strengthen relationships, and navigate challenges to help them thrive emotionally and academically.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, hiking, exploring antique stores, and visiting art museums.
Please reach out to your student's school counselor if you are interested in getting connected to services.
