Welcome
Hi there, welcome to The Homeschool Counseling Network (HCN).
THANK YOU for stopping by!
My name is Kimberly. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor turned Homeschool Mom of one. To learn more about my story and background, visit our About page.
The Homeschool Counseling Network (HCN) was created to fill a gap. As a Licensed Professional Counselor for over twenty years and a homeschooling mom to a child with learning differences for five of those years, I am well-acquainted with the unique challenges homeschooling families face.
Homeschooling families are a village. You can ask us anything, we can make a lesson out of anything, and we are fiercely supportive of one another. While our approaches and methods for educating our children may differ, we share a common belief that ALL children deserve access to a quality education.
As a professional helper, I believe the same principles apply to families seeking support services for home-educating their children. Standing with one foot in the homeschooling community and one foot in the helping community, I saw a need in the world and decided to do something about it.
Thus, The Homeschool Counseling Network (HCN) was born.
What To Expect From HCN
HCN functions as a liaison between homeschooling families and professional helpers.
Our network consists of professionals in the areas of academic advising (career advising, transcripts, college transition, etc.), counseling (counseling, marriage and family therapy, mental health, psychology, psychiatry, social work, art therapy, music therapy, etc), testing (assessment, career interest inventory, learning disorders testing, gifted assessment, twice-exceptional learners, etc.), therapy (occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech-language pathology), and tutoring (coaching, education).
