My name is Jason Harding and I am a student at Northwestern University working toward a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology through the school’s Counseling@Northwestern department. My focus is on developing the necessary competencies to help guide those seeking support in their personal and professional relationships, mental wellness, and coping strategies. I know the power of intentionality; seen the effects of meaningful and deliberate positive change, and I intend to help facilitate it in others. I embrace foundational principles of valuing the inherent worth and dignity of every individual I encounter, and I am committed to create a warm, empathic environment where clients feel genuinely understood and accepted. My role is one of guidance and collaboration that allows individuals to lead the way toward purposeful and sustainable growth. Here at Charmed, all of my work will be done under the close supervision of a licensed counselor.

Upon completion of my program, I hope to use my skills to help improve the lives of underserved populations in my community, particularly those experiencing the hardships of life gripped by addiction and homelessness. I am confident that the faculty at Northwestern and the clinical supervisors at Charmed Counseling are equipping me with a theoretical and practical foundation to carry out my commitment to serving those in need.
