I'm a licensed alcohol and drug counselor (LADC) working with adolescents and adults who struggle with substance use. I have over 15 years of experience working in the mental health industry.

Deciding to seek psychological services can be a difficult step to make. Whether looking for therapy or an evaluation, the right clinician/client match is essential. As a psychologist, my goal is to respond to my clients with compassion, empathy, and in a non-judgmental way, as well as stay up-to-date with the most effective treatment interventions. Many of the people that I have successfully treated have struggled with low self-esteem, assertiveness difficulties, loss/grief, guilt, eating disorders, emotional eating, binge-eating, anxiety, panic, life transitions, divorce/separation, obsessive thinking, relationship struggles, "quarter life crisis," and depression.

I provide short and longer term work, both virtually and in person, for adults who are experiencing stress, depression, adjustment difficulties, and work related problems. My goal is to understand symptoms/problems and assist with resolving those issues for a better quality of life. By establishing a solid therapeutic relationship, change can occur in many ways. I'm aware and respectful of your time and investment in this process. My style is collaborative, pragmatic and warm. My participation in training programs, educational courses and supervision keeps my skills and knowledge of the field current.

My name is Ashley Camera and I am committed to the well-being and mental health of my clients. I utilize a client-focused approach and believe that individuals do the best they know how, with the resources they have. I engage in talk therapy for individuals, families & groups. I have experience in school & outpatient settings for the past 9 years and work with individuals across the life span. I look forward to connecting and to discuss how I can be of assistance to you, your family, and your life.

I am a caring, evidence-based, and holistic (consideration of the whole) therapist looking forward to challenging cases from people needing my expertise. Making use of a wide variety of therapies, from verbal to non-verbal, devoting much time on each of the select cases I take, and engaging in colleague consultations, I am often able to help with even the most challenging of issues. I also see children, doing family therapy even for the toughest kids. You'll see the difference family support makes, rather than my just trying to "fix the kid".

Do you love someone who has an addiction? Have you recently lost someone close to you? Are you coming to terms with the effects of an affair or having relationship difficulties? Addiction, infidelity, grief, and loss are things that many of us struggle with and during these times it can be easy to lose sight of what we need or what makes our lives have meaning. I have found that acceptance, gratitude, and building resilience help us through our most trying times. Having done this work at many important junctures in my life, I offer my assistance to those who are going through these and other difficult life transitions.

Are you struggling to stay sober? Do you want to get your life back on track? I have 22 years experience in the addictions field in various clinical settings: Sober housing, Intensive Outpatient Programs and residential treatment facilities. One of my specialties is DBT skills. I can guide you on A New Journey by helping you find meaning and purpose to your life and discover your true voice. I can provide guidance on different options in treatment, based on your individual needs. I provide appropriate feedback, coping strategies and other tools as your treatment progresses.

With literally hundreds of therapists in New London County alone, it is hard to know who to see. There are so many different degrees, license types, and approaches. By contacting us, we'll help you find a good match with a therapist in our large Waterford practice. If we cannot find you a good match within our practice, we will find you one outside of it either nearby or elsewhere in the county. There is no charge, either way.

We all tend to search for the same things within and outside of ourselves. We want to feel loved, seen, heard, understood, important and worthy. We want to feel alive, good about ourselves and what we do each day. We have internalized negative, limiting beliefs about ourselves, others and life that keep us stuck. We have adapted to our experiences in order to survive and these skills may no longer serve us. If you are tired of feeling the way that you feel, if your soul feels weary; then it's time.

I am also a school psychologist by trade and have worked in school systems for the last 18 years. Working in the educational environment and with their respective learning and behavioral programs, I have gained extensive experience and knowledge of various learning differences, social/emotional/behavioral challenges (ADHD/ODD), and neuro-developmental disorders that impact children, adolescents, and young adults.

I am ready to work together in meeting your goals and putting over 10 years of knowledge and experience to use to find your center, calmness, focus, and trusting yourself and your abilities.

This year has changed our lives forever. While still providing traditional coaching and therapy, I am now implementing a new approach. I am excited to share this new approach with clients. This new approach has clearly made a difference for myself and others.

With over a decade of telethealth experience (long before COVID-19 [a Corona Virus Disease] led to an increase in telehealth), and with most of our practitioners having 1-2 decades or more of experience, our practice is ready to tackle some of the most complex challenges you can bring us.

Therapy can be extremely beneficial for a variety of life stressors and challenges, and yet it can be overwhelming to make that first call. In my office, you will find the comfort and acceptance needed to make this process not just manageable, but rewarding and healing.

Life can feel challenging, overwhelming, lonely, and hopeless at times. Are you feeling sad, anxious, depressed, or frustrated with confusion as to what you’re feeling and why? Do you want to be seen, heard, understood? I am here to listen, get to know and understand you, assist you in processing your feelings and life experiences, and see you for who you are inside and out. All people are unique with different personalities, life experiences, abilities, and styles of coping. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy and utilize various supportive and open-minded treatment techniques tailored to each of my client’s specific needs.

Life is difficult at times and we have all found ourselves in situations that seem overwhelming. With more than 30 years experience as a Clinical Psychologist, my goal is to help you use your inner strengths and resources to regain a new perspective on life.

**I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** Are you stuck in a cycle that you have tried to get out of, but can't? Is your depression, anxiety, or addiction continuing that cycle of not being able to work towards your life goals? Do you need help finding the motivation to change, and the potential to life a happy and fulfilling life? I might be the therapist for you, to help you in your journey. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with years of experience working in different settings and a variety of concerns that people have come to me with.

Taking the step to call a therapist can feel intimidating. It can be scary becoming so vulnerable with someone you don't know. I strive to create and maintain a relaxed, supportive and honest therapeutic relationship. One where you can feel comfortable discussing any aspect of your life that "doesn't feel right."

**I'm not currently accepting new clients at this time.** When others depend on you, whether it’s your children, partner, friends, aging family members, or job, it can be hard to find the time to take care of yourself. Sometimes, the stressors of life can feel like too much to manage alone. Maybe you’ve experienced challenging situations in the past that are hard to forget, or the expectations on you feel overwhelming or unmanageable. If you, your child, or your family are struggling to cope, you have already taken an important step by reaching our for help.
