Tampa Catholic High School

Welcome to Providence Counseling!


Our counselors at Providence provide a comprehensive guidance program for all of our students. We want to empower our young women to achieve their academic, personal goals, and aspirations to reach their full potential in all aspects of their lives.


We see students throughout the school year in our offices and on campus. We strive to give students the tools they need to persevere through any challenge. 


We divide the students by last name to assign their primary counselor. Our two counselors are Monica Dreesen (A-K alpha) and Kristina Castillo (L-Z alpha). We work together as a team throughout the year to implement an age appropriate, comprehensive guidance program which includes academic/college preparatory and social and emotional learning to address the needs of all students.
