More about Ashley

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping others become their authentic selves. I have 15 years of experience working with youth of all ages and families in various settings (school, community, and in home) and 5 years of experience providing clinical therapy services both in person and virtually.

I work with individuals of all ages struggling with a variety of mental health concerns and life challenges, including mood disorders, stress and anxiety, LGBTQIA+ related issues, trauma and abuse, grief/loss, divorce/separation, and eating disorders.

My treatment modalities of expertise include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Art Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

I utilize a strength-based approach to empower my clients to practice the courage and vulnerability to first love themselves. I am big proponent of radical self-love and the connection between mind, body, and soul. I believe that wholeheartedly loving yourself first is the key to long lasting change.

I believe in treating everyone with respect, empathy, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I am proud of you for getting started!

***Please note that I do have more availability than what's on my calendar, including some weekends as needed. I prefer to schedule directly with my clients as my schedule varies. We will find a time that works for both of us!***

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
