I am Patience Coleman, guidance counselor at Sacred
Heart. I am also the guidance counselor at St. Patrick’s in Cedar Falls and the Don Bosco System in Raymond and
Gilbertville. This is my first year in the Catholic education system, and I am excited for the wonderful year to come!

My husband, Les, and I live in Cedar Falls where
I am continuing my education. I currently hold a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling, as well as a School
Counseling Endorsement. I have been fortunate to work with children in a variety of settings and am now excited to continue
this work in the Catholic Schools.
I am looking forward to meeting and talking with all of you and your children.
I am excited and honored to help your children grow in the mind, spirit, and faith. I want you to know that I consider parents
and/or family to be a vital part of student development and therefore vital to the counseling and guidance process.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for any reason.
