Charna Jones

I’m a dedicated school counselor with a passion for helping students navigate academic, social, and emotional challenges with confidence and clarity. I thrive in multicultural environments and bring a calm, solution‑focused approach to supporting young people and the communities around them. Whether I’m guiding students through personal growth, collaborating with families, or strengthening schoolwide wellbeing initiatives, I’m committed to creating spaces where everyone feels seen, supported, and empowered to succeed.

I am an experienced school counselor with a strong background in supporting student wellbeing across academic, social, and emotional domains. My work has included individual and group counseling, crisis response, behavior support, and collaboration with teachers and families to create safe, inclusive learning environments. I have supported diverse student populations and thrive in multicultural school settings where communication, cultural sensitivity, and relationship‑building are essential.

My approach is calm, student‑centered, and solution‑focused, and I am committed to helping young people develop resilience, self‑awareness, and the skills they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom.

I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling with a concentration in Mental Health, which provided a strong foundation in counseling theory, assessment, crisis intervention, and ethical practice. My graduate training, combined with my professional experience as a mental health therapist, has equipped me with practical skills in supporting children and adolescents through a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. In addition, my background as a classroom teacher has given me a deep understanding of school environments, student development, and the daily realities teachers and students navigate.

This combination of clinical training and educational experience allows me to approach school counseling with both therapeutic insight and an educator’s perspective, ensuring that my support is developmentally appropriate, collaborative, and aligned with whole‑school wellbeing.
