"I offer therapy adapted to the needs of the client. If brief, problem-focused work is needed, I offer it. For clients seeking a fuller understanding of themselves and their personality styles, I provide open-ended, insight-based therapy. Because I recognize each person as a whole, complex individual, I try to see each person and each set of difficulties in context. Proper resolution of problems often requires attention to the complexity--the emotional, physical, cognitive, spiritual, and interpersonal dimensions --of the client's experience. Prevention of future difficulties also ranks high in the priorites of my therapeutic work."

"Hi, I'm Ashley. I work primarily with children and teens who are going through a rough time, for a variety of reasons. Some reasons people find their way to my office include: parents divorcing, a traumatic event (car accident, medical trauma, abuse, natural disaster, etc.) occurred, and changes in mood and/or behavior. No matter what the "presenting problem" may be for a client, I empower clients to create lasting change and healing in their lives."

"I am passionate about self-empowerment and believe that relationships with self, significant other, family, and friends are important and interconnected. I approach therapy with a focus on mind-body wellness and work collaboratively with my clients. I provide a safe and compassionate environment where clients from all cultures and communities feel heard and understood."

"I seek to understand and empower you and your family members with the healing and tools to maintain lasting change that makes life worth living. I will partner with you to embrace, rather than avoid or fight, your difficulties so you can live life more fully and authentically."

"My professional experiences have taught me that my passion is working with children and families. I have a wealth of knowledge in infant and child mental health. Also, I work with children who have trauma histories and the families that care for them. I have experience assisting with adoption issues, family work, anxiety, depression, PTSD, coping with life change, and child and adolescent mental health issues. Working collaboratively with parents is also an essential part of my therapy practice."

"As a therapist I strive to help people discover their own strengths and feel empowered to overcome hardships and create the change they wish to see in their lives. Family therapy allows me to view an individual and their circumstances from a systems perspective which can mean exploring how a person's past and present network is helping or hindering the process of change."

"My focus in therapy is to: 1) assist clients to clearly identify the root causes of the challenges and difficulties they are dealing with; 2) ensure client safety and stability, and; 3) work with each client to identify solutions which they feel will best address and resolve their unique life situations. I do not use a one-size-fits-all, or cookie-cutter approach. I work relationally and collaboratively, while striving to help each individual hold themselves accountable for gaining the skills they need to successfully navigate their own life journey with all of its challenges and successes."

"Seeking first to understand, then to assist you in resolving problem areas in your life, my focus is on helping you grow to a place of personal safety, security, and stability in your life. Please call or email to discuss how I may be able to help you address any issues that you may be facing."

"I have been in the mental health field for 10 years and enjoy working with adult individuals, couples, and families. My specialty is working with families with children ages 18 months to 12 years. I utilize play therapy to help children recover from trauma, abuse, and neglect. I also utilize Filial Therapy to strengthen parent-child relationships and reduce problematic behaviors such as tantrums, physical and verbal aggression, and property destruction. My special interests are adoptive and foster care families. My passion is helping adults, couples, and families move from anxiety and depression to enjoyment and connection with others."

"Different therapists have different specialties. Mine is relationships. All of us, as human beings, long for a deep connection with those we love. To be known, accepted, and loved. When the connection with the person you love most is off somehow, it can throw many areas in your life off balance. Whether you are married/in a committed relationship and are seeking an outside perspective to build a better relationship; you or your partner are contemplating divorce; or maybe you feel the connection is lacking in your relationship but your partner doesn't -- I am here to help."

"Are you feeling stressed out? On the surface it may look like you have it all: a wonderful partner, nice family, or a great career but underneath, you are overwhelmed. Others may think you are put together, sometimes, even coming to you for support. They don't realize you are experiencing increased worry, anxiousness, and exhaustion. You feel stressed out, distracted, and even panicked. You just can't keep up. When you stop to think about it, you are not living the life you expected. You are tired and don't know where to turn."

"I practice from a system-based lens which recognizes the importance of family and other avenues of support in the individual's therapeutic process. I specialize in working with children aged 4 to 12, providing non-directive play therapy to assist them in telling their stories, processing trauma, and healing from difficult childhood experiences. I also work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families with a range of diagnoses and presenting issues. I utilize cognitive-behavioral, strengths-based, solution-focused approaches to therapy and have experience working with anxiety, depression, life transitions, ADHD, divorce, trauma, and many other diagnoses and issues."

"Deciding to change takes courage. Starting therapy takes courage. Many only call a therapist when they have tried everything they know to do. Others are tired of reaching the same crossroads time and again - whether in our personal lives (with issues such as anxiety, depression, fear), in our relationships (communication, intimacy, etc.), or a past experience that keeps one from living the full life once imagined. Whatever brings you to therapy, Conscious Healing Counseling is happy to discuss the many options available to you and how we can be most helpful."

"Genuine Therapy Center is about having real conversations with real people. We use a practical approach to assist our clients in making change in a way that is meaningful to them.
