Counselor’s Corner

Our on campus YESPhilly Counselling Team consists of Ms. Casey, our School Counselor, and our UPenn Intern, Ms. Susie Gu. Our counseling team works to support YESPhilly Students as they pursue their identified goals through individual counseling services, positive behavior supports, consultation, and referral services. ​

If you would like to contact YESPhilly’s School Counselor, please email Ms. Casey at cbriglia@yesphilly.org or call her office at 267-800-7479. ​

Our counseling department strives to support our students emotionally and practically, with resources and partnerships with outside programs.
YESPhilly students can meet with:

  • Ms. Casey, lead counselor

  • Ms. Susie Gu, counseling intern, University of Pennsylvania

  • ELECT counselors

Additionally, YESPhilly maintains a partnership with RHD, and can connect students to resources regarding housing, psychiatric services, support for pregnant and parenting students, and more.
