Stacy’s and Dr. Jules' services are available to St. Vincent de Paul families free of charge.  We welcome your calls whatever the reason.  Typical requests for our services fall under the following categories:

Counseling - We are able to meet with any student for any reason with parent permission.

Classroom Presentations and Groups - we provide classroom presentations on just about any topic and can offer groups focusing on grief issues, family change, social skills, and academic skills.

Testing - We will usually provide testing services directly such as assessments for developmental issues that affect school performance.  If there is a need for something outside our areas of expertise, we will help St. Vincent de Paul families find exactly what is needed.

Consultation - Dr. Jules is available to talk with parents about issues that affect your family and to help with parenting tips. 

Our school contracts with Phoenix School Counseling for counseling services. Dr. Jules Nolan is the owner of this group that now works in 40 Catholic schools throughout the greater Twin Cities area. There is never a charge for any service from Dr. Nolan or her counselors as they are included as part of your tuition.
