Hello, my name is Lauren Weltmer, I am one of the High School Counselors at The Vanguard School. 

I have just started my 10th school year. The staff and the students here have always been wonderful to work with. I look forward to getting to know my new students and their families every school year!

Before working at The Vanguard School, I received my undergraduate education in Psychology at Shippensburg University. I continued my education at West Chester University where I received a Master of Education in Counselor Education, with a dual certification in Elementary and Secondary School Counseling.

I had several wonderful internship opportunities during both my undergraduate and graduate studies at organizations ranging from children's homes to public schools. I had the experience of working as a Therapeutic Support Staff and a Mobile Therapist, providing wraparound services to children, adolescents and their families.  I also had years of experience working in early childhood education. 

When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two very active little boys!
