Jane Norton

Jane Norton, 2020 Vision Fellow, earned a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Goddard College’s low residency program. Her vision is to offer Islanders competent, evidence-based professional counseling for depression, anxiety, trauma and bereavement issues. Hospice of Martha’s Vineyard was Jane’s sponsoring organization and Jill De La Hunt, LICSW and a Vision Fellow alum, served as Jane’s mentor and as her clinical supervisor for the practicum and internship requirements for Jane’s degree. Jane’s goals are to help expand the reach of Hospice of MV’s offerings in several areas, including co-facilitating support groups for bereaved individuals, conducting counseling sessions for people with life-limiting illnesses, their spouses, families and loved ones; assisting in the development and implementation of support groups for bereaved children and adolescents; and creating a support group for those experiencing the sudden death of a loved one due to overdose.
