Schools’ Coordination with applicable external organizations and professionals is necessary for children’s mental health problems in an increasing number of cases, and the role of school counselors is increasingly important in Coordination. The purpose of this study was to model the process in which children’s mental health problems improved by school counselors’ coordinating with external organizations. We conducted a semi-structured interview with a school counselor working in a junior high school and analyzed and described four cases using the Trajectory Equifinality Model (TEM). The school counselor evaluated the need to coordinate with external organizations from four perspectives: 1. the student is highly dangerous or the situation is very urgent; 2. the student is diseased; 3. the student may have a disorder and needs to be medically examined; 4. the situation is beyond the ability of school counseling support. In addition, it was suggested that “the trust of students, guardians, teaching staff,” “a shared understanding among teaching staff,” information on related organizations,” “expertise,” and others were the major factors in the school counselor’s collaborating with external organizations and improving problems.
