Our students have the opportunity to engage in a unique school counseling internship in a “turn around” urban high school. As the Educational Partnership Organization (EPO) for East High School, we are leading a radical transformation that includes building a healthy and inclusive school culture, while supporting students’ socio-emotional needs.
Our students benefit from cutting-edge research-grounded supervising practices. In fact, Warner Professor Doug Guiffrida’s 2015 book on Constructive Clinical Supervision in Counseling and Psychotherapy has been recognized with a national award.
Warner faculty who are nationally recognized experts on grief and loss will help prepare you to better support students who are experiencing traumatic events. Program Director Bonnie Rubenstein regularly appears on national media contributing interviews and essays on this important topic.

“I had a very unique situation. I wasn’t going down the typical path of a Warner student, and the school was just so flexible and supportive.”
Shannon Walton, Sports Performance Counselor, Rochester, NY
"The most important thing I received there was the opportunity to be immersed in the study of education and leadership with very talented people, that think-tank mentality of being surrounded by the best of the best. The intellectual stimulation from both the staff and fellow classmates really did allow me to think about things differently."
Dawn Santiago-Marullo, Superintendent, Victor, NY
"The growth I’ve realized in myself is something I will be forever grateful for. I’ve learned to question, analyze, think and create in ways I never considered. I’ve changed as an educator and as a person."

“It was more than I expected. Not only what I learned in the program, which I’ve been able to put into practice every day since, but also the connections I was able to make and the relationships I was able to form."
Beatriz M. Folch-Torres, MD, Rochester, NY
“As educators, it’s our job to make sure we’re giving students the knowledge to be successful when they move on in their life….Warner was the best grad school experience I’ve ever had because it prepared me extremely well to jump into my career, and I will forever be grateful for that.”
