I am Nellie Springston, and am very excited to join the St. Elizabeth Catholic Charities’ school counseling team to provide services to St. Anthony and Sacred Heart Schools! I look forward to meeting all the school staff, parents and students throughout the year, so please be sure to introduce yourself if you see me around.


I live in downtown Jeffersonville in the house I grew up in with my husband Jimmy, our two girls, June and Lou, and our dog Sammy. We attend OLPH Parish in New Albany, which is also where my daughter, June, attends school as a second grader. We spend most of our free-time outdoors riding our bikes along the Greenway, or hanging out in our Airstream! I love being outdoors, as it helps me recharge.


I have a Master’s Degree in School Counseling and Psychology from UofL, and went to IU Bloomington for undergrad. I have spent most of the past decade working as a behavior specialist in schools and in private practice as well. I love being in the classroom teaching lessons about mental, emotional and behavioral well-being, and also love the face-to-face time I get with students in

small group or individual work.


After seven years living in Texas, I am so happy to be back home, and serving in the community in which I live. The school counseling team offers social, emotional and academic support in a variety of ways. This includes collaboration and consultation with teachers, caregivers and staff, individual counseling, as needed, classroom guidance lessons and small group lessons.

We truly believe it is key to keep the caregivers informed on strategies discussed so that we can partner together in practicing new skills. I look forward to partnering with you this year. Please know I am here and feel free to contact me with any questions. I look forward to a wonderful school year together!
