Hello Diamond Lakes Family!

I'm Mrs. Abellan, the School Counselor here at Diamond Lakes Elementary School. As the school counselor, I am dedicated to supporting all students in their social, emotional, academic, and career development. Most of my services are provided through individual counseling, small groups, and classroom guidance as well as collaboration with parents, teachers, adminstrators, and community agencies.

About Mrs. Abellan:

I moved from Plymouth, MA to Columbia, SC when I was 12 years old and have enjoyed living in South Carolina ever since. I currently live across the river in Aiken with my husband and 4 year daughter, Ella. I received my B.A. in Psychology from the University of South Carolina and my M.Ed. in School Counseling right here in Augusta through Augusta University. I have been the school counselor of DLE since February of 2019. I love reading books, spending time outside, and playing board games (I have quite the collection at home). 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns that you may have. You can reach me by e-mail at abellka@boe.richmond.k12.ga.us or by phone at (706) 771-2881 ext. 2224.
