Charlotte McGinnis is the School Counselor at GVA North. 

Her primary role is to support students in their  social-emotional development. She provides short-term, solution-focused counseling to help students navigate challenges that may arise during the school day. She will also provide support through small groups, whole classroom settings, and through school-wide programs. Charlotte also participates in Risk Assessments.

While our mental health staff does all they can to support students during the school day, please know that school-based mental health services are not a replacement for ongoing or long-term therapy.
