Dr. Ashley Jackson

Hello CMS students and families! I am thrilled to be your school counselor this year. This is my 8th year as a Purple Hurricane, and I love my job! I am a self-proclaimed “teen whisperer” because of my ability to connect with students in a non-confrontational, gentle, and humorous way. I provide individual, small group, and classroom lessons that focus on social/emotional development, academic success, and career preparation. Prior to becoming a school counselor, I worked for ten years as an adolescent therapist in community mental health settings. I attended Auburn University (War Eagle!), where I completed my doctorate in Human Development and Family Studies and Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am married to my wonderful husband, Tommy, and we have two sweet children named Judah (6th grade) and Hannah (5th grade).
