Counseling

  • Hello Central Emerson Elementary families!

    My name is Crystal Williams, and I am the full-time school counselor at the Central campus for Central Emerson Elementary. I have my masters degree in social work from the University of Washington and have worked as an elementary school counselor for six years. I love my job and supporting students, classrooms, and families!

    I support all students with social emotional learning lessons in the classroom. I also provide small group support services and short-term, solution-focused individual counseling on an as-needed basis. I collaborate and consult with families and staff in creating a supportive school-wide counseling program. You can find me in classrooms, outside during recess, in the lunchroom, greeting students, or in my office.

    Please feel free to contact me. I can be reached at the email and phone number listed below or stop by the Central Elementary office to make an appointment.

  • Hello students and families!

    Thank you for visiting the Central Emerson Elementary school counseling webpage. My name is Jamie Walton, and I am thrilled to be your school counselor. This will be my fifth year as a counselor at Central Emerson Elementary with 21 years overall in education, previously being a high school teacher. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone and ensure all students thrive in school.  My office is a friendly space for students to reach out for help and learn strategies to navigate towards a successful school year.   

    The Snohomish School District School counseling department provides a comprehensive counseling program catered to student progress in the areas of academic, social-emotional, and career development.   This is achieved through prevention and intervention services as described below:  

    • Individual counseling:  Provide short-term counseling support to address concerns in academic, social-emotional and career development. 
    • Crisis intervention:  Support and connect students and families to resources during a crisis or emergency.
    • Group counseling:  Provide short-term small group counseling focused on common concerns in academic or social-emotional areas.
    • Social-emotional lessons (SEL):  Present lessons in the classrooms focused on topics of academic, social-emotional or career development.
    • Schoolwide initiatives:  Coordinate and plan activities including, but not limited to, Start with Hello Week, Snapshot Crew, Great Kindness Challenge, etc.
    • Collaboration and consultation:  Collaborate and consult with students, parents, staff, and other stakeholders to advocate for student needs (e.g.  classroom interventions, academic plans, behavior plans, 504s, IEPs, etc.)
    • Community resources and referrals: Direct students and parents to school or community resources such as therapy, food, housing, clothing, healthcare, childcare, etc.

    I am looking forward to working together with you.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me via phone call or email.  Let’s have a great year!
