Biography

Jolie Ziomek-Daigle, PhD, is a professor in the school counseling and counselor education and supervision programs at the University of Georgia. She is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and has edited three textbooks and published extensively in the areas of child and adolescent mental health and the use of evidence-based practices in school settings. Dr Daigle is a fellow with the American Counseling Association.

"In this book, child and adolescent counselors in school and clinical settings will find comprehensive and contemporary information for working with young clients. Ziomek-Daigle and the chapter authors have provided a thorough, highly readable resource that compiles theories, counseling strategies, and evidence-based practices in one compelling book built on trauma-informed and anti-racist foundations."

Colette Dollarhide, EdD, professor, The Ohio State University

"Ziomek-Daigle has curated a series of topics that address the fundamental and developmental needs of children and adolescents. Throughout Counseling Children and Adolescents, the authors present relevant and evidence-based practices, use case studies, and thought-provoking activities. This is an essential text for bridging the gap between theory and practice while emphasizing the complexities of addressing students’ mental health needs."

Elizabeth Vallares Sacks, PhD, professor, Florida Atlantic University

"The delivery of effectual mental health services is especially urgent given the profound stressors that confront children and adolescents. Dr. Daigle offers counseling students and practitioners important content and practical suggestions to best serve youth. The content is potentially pertinent to diverse youth populations and her suggestions for practice are grounded in the best-practices and scholarship available. This is truly an invaluable resource for future and current counselors."

Matthew Lemberger-Truelove, PhD, professor, University of North Texas

"The editor skillfully infuses relevant and common ethical and legal issues in a most helpful manner. Counseling Children and Adolescents has practical applications for both entry-level counselors-in-training as well as more seasoned school and mental health counselors seeking evidence-based interventions for youth."

Gerald A. Juhnke, EdD, LPC, NCC, MAC, ACS, ACA, fellow/professor, University of Texas at San Antonio

"This book goes beyond most in addressing social justice advocacy for children and adolescents who experience immigration, trauma, natural disasters, and grief. Descriptions of creativity, expressive arts, and play therapy combined with details of evidence-based strategies will help readers fill their cart with practical tools."

Jennifer Baggerly, PhD, LPC-S, RPT-S, professor of counseling and play therapy, University of North Texas at Dallas
