Hello, my name is Ashley, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling and have trained in therapeutic techniques like EMDR therapy. My twenty years of experience include a clinical setting at an inpatient psychiatric hospital, a university counseling center, and a private practice. I have worked with clients impacted by depression, anxiety, trauma-related issues, and relationship challenges affecting their home and work life. I believe growth starts by looking closely at family of origin dynamics, the impact of early attachment, and personality development.Stories are how we make sense of our life and the world around us. Therapy is a collaborative process that creates a safe space to explore the themes and elements of our individual story and its impact. Together we can help make connections in your story by identifying with the events and the feelings and belief systems surrounding them.I’m also passionate about supporting those who have experienced trauma. I have trained in Somatic Experiencing and am certified in EMDR therapy, both of which are globally recognized. I am ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. I offer a free phone consultation to see if we may be a good fit.
