WELCOME MRS. TIFFANY THOMPSON

Mrs. Tiffany Thompson is Coalfield’s New School Counselor!

      I am very excited to meet you all. I am new to Coalfield this year, but I am not new to Morgan County. I have been living here since 2014.
     This will be my 10th year as a counselor, with 7 years as a school counselor and 3 years as a mental health therapist. I graduated with a BA in Psychology from Maryville College in 2012. I completed my MS in School Counseling at the University of Tennessee in 2014.

If your student needs counseling services, please reach out. We currently have a Ridgeview offering in-person behavioral health services weekly. We also have telehealth available through Morgan County Medical Center. Sometimes there is a waiting list for these services, but I am always happy to help you find local providers in our area that can help.
