  • Meet our Mental Health team!  

    Mrs. Kimberly Ball

    Kimberly is one of our School Counselors and joined Council Rock in 2016. She has worked in local Rochester area elementary and middle schools as a School Counselor since 2009. She is originally from Grand Island, New York. Kimberly earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology and organizational communications from SUNY Geneseo, and her master’s degree in School Counseling from SUNY Brockport. She also holds a Certificate of Advanced Study in School Counseling and is a Nationally Certified Counselor. She is a Certified Yoga Teacher and recently completed 200 hours of training through Breathe for Change in Mindfulness, Social Emotional Learning, and Yoga. 

    Kimberly's favorite part of her job is engaging with students during classroom lessons and visiting students at lunch and recess. Many students know her for her "puppy" puppet skills from SEL lessons! When not at school, Kimberly enjoys running, hiking, and yoga. She has coached "Girls on The Run" at French Road Elementary School and loves being able to see past Council Rock students in that capacity. She has recently developed a passion for indoor plants, so she visits local greenhouses often! She has travelled to Ireland, France, and Italy, but her favorite place to be is visiting her parents in Florida where they live every winter. If she wasn’t a School Counselor, she would be an interior designer, floral designer, or maybe even a party planner! Kimberly lives with her husband Mitchell (an ultra runner who works in the Gates-Chili Central School District office), their children Gwendolyn and Louis, and Irish Terrier Killian. You might see her running down your street someday with Killian since she lives in Brighton too! 

    For the 2023-2024 School year, Kimberly provides general counseling support and delivers Social Emotional Learning lessons for Kindergarten.
