Mrs. Caldwell

Hi there! My name is Regan Caldwell and this is my fourth year as the school counselor at West Elementary. I am a Birmingham native and a graduate of Vestavia Hills High School. I completed both my degrees at the University of Alabama. I have a bachelor’s degree in English and creative writing, as well as a master’s degree in school counseling. Roll Tide! I have been married to my husband, Brandon, for five years. Brandon is an RN and a nurse anesthesia student at Samford University, and we live in Birmingham with our two precious dogs, Bobby and Squid. We have been married for five years. We love to cook, read, and travel!

As your child’s school counselor, my role is to advocate for ALL students in their academic, social-emotional, and career development. I am passionate about educating all children from a holistic perspective. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and a member of the American Counseling Association. 

The services I offer include biweekly classroom counseling lessons on various topics, topical small groups, short-term individual counseling, as well as collaboration and consultation with families, educators, and other stakeholders. Please know that I am here to encourage you and your child in any way I can. You are always welcome to reach out to me via phone or email. I am confident that we will have an exciting school year at West. Go Bearcats!
