Dr. Tarleton, 7th Grade Counselor

 

Greetings parents, students, families and community members.  I am so happy to be a part of the Mustang family (my 3rd year) here at Ola Middle School.  Prior to coming here I worked for 6 years at Talbot county schools. I was a professor in the classroom for over 20 years.  I have a strong background in Mental Health and school counseling.  I completed my undergraduate degree in psychology at Georgia College and State University.  I then went on to study at Georgia State University where I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling after which I attended the Georgia School of Professional Psychology earning both a Master’s in Clinical Psychology and finally a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. 

I believe in the strength of each student to achieve their goals in life.  Some of my favorite motivational quotes are:

  1. “Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game."  Babe Ruth
  2. "It is during our darkest moments we must focus to see the light." Aristotle
  3. “I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life, and that is why I succeed.” —Michael Jordan
  4. “If life were predictable, it would cease to be life and be without flavor."  Eleanor Roosevelt

I look forward to meeting each of you.  Please contact me by email or phone if I may be of assistance. 

Thank you.
