STAFF HIGHLIGHT: Karla Aguirre

1/21/2020

Name: Karla Aguirre
Position: School Psychologist Intern
What led you to your current position? During my first year at All-In! Toshia Mears passionately shared why she thought being a school psychologist was a career I should consider. With Toshia’s and Meka Tull’s input I became interested in the role. I was able to shadow a bilingual psychologist my first year at Seneca and decided that I was highly interested in pursuing the career. Now, I’m in my last year of graduate school, while completing my internship at Seneca.
Fun Fact/Quote: As a graduation gift to myself, I booked a trip to Thailand this summer J
What does your average day look like? My day depends on what site I’m at. A typical day of counseling is typically back to back sessions of counseling and documenting my services. A typical day of assessments could look like me observing, pulling and reviewing files, interviewing parents/teachers, and report writing (a lot of writing).
Why do you do this work? As a school psychologist I am able to hold many hats. The flexibility of role allows me to work with parents, students and school staff members. I enjoy supporting marginalized populations because they remind me of my family and community from southern California.

My name is Phelisha Washington , I'm sure by now everyone knows I'm "Toshia Cooper' Mother, me and my daughter once had a pretty good relationship , as tho I thought, but after graduating college, things started going down hill , I thought that maybe she was just trying to find her passion in life , so she got married , I gave her some space, knowing that she now had a family , but never did it occur to me , that for some reason , me n my daughter became alittle distance , then alittle more distance , now totally distance, the more I try to reach out to her, the more she pushes me away , IM HER MOTHER, and she's my only child , and I love her very much, so it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone how much I want atleast a civil relationship with my daughter, it hurts me to have to go to the extream of trying to contact threw her job, but it's the only way to atleast try to keep some kind of sense of mother n daughter relationship, my daughter us a great person , but like anyone she had her faults, and one of them is neglecting her own mother, I can't contact her at all , only thew her job web sites like now, no I didn't do anything wrong to my daughter, I've never even spanked her, but I went on every single field trip she ever had, I was a member of the pta , and there's a picture of me in her year book, from when I would ride on the bus the cheerleaders , just to be a involed parent, she then went of too college, n all my time n efforts seemed to have been forgotten , n that's OK, but what Toshia Cooper , shouldn't r can't forget is that I'm her MOTHER, I miss my daughter and I want to speak to my daughter , if nothing else , so when you consistently see a comment about where my daughter , I mean just that, where is my daughter , n why don't she take a moment to atleast call her own mother and say hello.
I will never stop trying to communicate with my daughter , so get use to seeing messages like this , until someone at"Seneca Family of Agencies " encourage my daughter to give her mother a call n say HI, she's not going to do it on her own , cause she would have done so by now, it's nothing wrong with calling your mother , just to say hello , n it's the moral n ethical thing to do.that would enable her to lead by example , n not by empty words. So , who ever should come in contact with my daughter " Toshia Cooper, Director Of School Partnership" please tell her , that her mother misses n loves her very much , n wishes she would call her to atleast say " HI MOM!!
Phelisha Washington , Toshia Cooper's mother in mourning.
