Sometimes the things we experience don’t come with words to express them. I use an integrative trauma-informed body-aware approach to help clients listen to the stories that their bodies, emotions, and experiences are trying to tell them. I provide a compassionate, supportive atmosphere to allow your inner experiences to be witnessed and processed in a welcoming and non-judgmental space. I often incorporate grounding exercises, mindfulness, coping skills, and integration of both EMDR and art therapy when working with individuals to connect deeply within themselves to provide safety and empower them to transform their lives.

Throughout her life, Megan has sought out therapy as she navigated challenging life circumstances. These included relationship struggles, divorce, single parenting, life transitions, a loved one struggling with addiction, and the loss of a close friend. She found therapy to be a safe space to explore feelings, fears, strengths, and to address thoughts that were blocking her growth. Though therapy she gained the courage to make positive decisions that supported her emotional well-being. Now, she wants to provide that same source of strength for you.

Taking the first step towards change, healing & growth can be difficult. I am a laid back therapist who loves seeing clients get to their best selves in a non-judgmental, unbiased space. I pride myself on being down to earth, positive, and relatable. You won't find a traditional atmosphere in my office, which I believe is one of my strengths. I provide individual therapy for clients aged 18 years and older. I am trained in EMDR, DBT, and CBT techniques and utilize strength-based and client-centered approaches.

Thank you for taking the time to consider me as a possible counselor. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 6 years of experience in the mental health profession. As a therapist, I employ a holistic, all inclusive, empathetic style to therapy. It is in my professional interest to provide the most effective therapy to my clients by integrating a use of therapy techniques to include Cognitive-Behavioral, Motivational Interviewing, Strength-based, Mindfulness, and incorporating empirically supported practices.

Struggling with your relationship, identity, anxiety, frustration, and/or just not feeling "you"? This can be so frustrating and debilitating! Through time together we can find "you" again. Want to not only find "you", but better "you"? Lets walk that journey together! I offer exclusively telehealth services in the evenings, which can be ideal for those individuals/couple who work during the day or before heading into your second/third shift job. (I work with people as late as midnight!)

Deciding that we need help is not an easy thing to admit. It's even more difficult to reach out to get the help we know we deserve. No matter what you are dealing with in life, may it be daily anxiety and depression or transitioning through a phase in your life that turned out to be more difficult than you thought. I am here to listen and help you through these times. I hope that with my help you can live your life the way you have always wanted and feel proud for the work you have done to truly take care of yourself.

I believe that at any given moment we are all doing the best that we can with what we have within us. Everyone has found themselves in the midst of the struggle at some point, and that struggle may appear the same or differently each time. I enjoy working with a wide variety of concerns such as anxious/depressive symptoms, relationship conflict, trauma, and personality disorders. No one can force a change to happen so there is never a guarantee of services. However, if you are looking for someone to provide safety and support while challenging you to better understand yourself and your roles - this may be a good space for you.

My goal in therapy is to create that space through acceptance, connection, and compassion. Through a collaborative process I hope to help individuals find their voice, create balance through mindfulness, and work towards their goals. I understand that working towards change can be overwhelming and that embracing openness can allow for new experiences in life. I am willing to be there with you to find peace within and be present the way you want to in life, through creating new meaning.

My first responsibility is to create a safe and comforting space for people to share their stories. We are all faced with difficult and overwhelming challenges in life. Therapy is a place and time where a person who is facing overwhelming life challenges comes for non-judgmental and honest but empathetic care. My ever-evolving approach includes a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, always starting with person-centered, strength-based, and including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and trauma-focused therapies.

I work primarily with children and teens; I use both play therapy and talk therapy techniques with clients as appropriate as we work together in therapy. I have a passion for experiential therapy. I believe the most important element of therapy is the therapist's unconditional positive regard for the client. A client's capacity for growth increases according to how much they believe others believe in them. As a therapist, I am sometimes the first person a child/teen will trust besides their parent(s) who says, "You are good. You are capable of growth and change. I believe in you."

Hello! I am Ashley Paulson, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Iowa and Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner in Nebraska. I offer online therapy to children, teens, and adults. I focus on helping those struggling with stress, anxiety, self-worth, parenting, trauma, and behavioral issues in children. I generally help people let go of what's holding them back. I often work with people on managing and reducing stress or anxiety, processing trauma or past experiences, building self-worth/self-esteem, becoming the parent they want to be, and helping parents increase cooperation at home through connection.

I believe in creating a safe and trusting therapeutic setting where individuals, children and families are able to explore themselves and relationships. I work to instill home, encourage growth and listen to understand you unique experience. I enjoy working with a variety of concerns; such as anxiety, depression, relational conflict, and trauma to name a few. There is never a guarantee with any service, but if you are looking for someone who can provide a safe, supportive listening ear while simultaneously challenging you to meet your goals. We could be a great fit!

The side of you people see is polished and put together, but you don't always feel that way on the inside. Sometimes you worry about things you shouldn't worry about and this anxiety can take over making it hard to cope. We can work together to help you recognize your strengths in a world where you are constantly confronted with negativity. I provide a safe and comfortable space to explore these issues and help you to resolve your inner struggles. Online therapy can help you regain your confidence, develop new coping skills, and improve your life…all without sacrificing your busy schedule or privacy.

You are the meaning maker, the ever persistent expert of your life and experiences. Your unique humanity will be given space here. If you are curious to explore the profound power of choice, the expansive space between a naturally programmed reaction and your authentic chosen response, and in deepening an authentic connection to yourself and others, this may be the space for you. I seek to honor your autonomy and provide a space where creative expression, curiosity, and ingenuity might collide to present you with new avenues to explore. Let’s release expectations, and bravely explore the possibilities of your authenticity together.
