My goal is to help you become the best version of yourself! My name is Ashley Avila, LCSW & for the last decade my aim has been to help empower clients with the tools & insights needed to create lasting change. Through co-creating a deep sense of safety within sessions, you'll finally be able to take off the mask & face the struggles you've suffered through alone for so long. It's my belief that our diverse backgrounds & cultures, attachment styles, spiritual/religious convictions & our communities help to shape us, for better or worse. Together, we’ll pull from your personal experiences to work towards improving your life.

Life can be difficult at times. Sometimes we are able to navigate it alone and other times we need someone to walk through it with us, helping us navigate its ups and downs with all its turns and surprises. I am a person centered, existential therapist influenced by object relations therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy. I would like to help you. I would be privileged to enter into your life, listen to you with empathy and understanding and be there with you as you go through all that life may bring you.

My Practice Is Available For New Clients Immediately believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. A person's mental health and many common mental disorders are shaped by various social, economic, and physical environments operating at different stages of life. Good mental health is integral to human health and well-being. Risk factors for many common mental disorders are heavily associated with social inequalities. I don't discriminate against anyone, and I am fluent in American Sign Language (ASL).

You have hopes and desires but feel a lack of motivation, energy, purpose or interest. The things that once brought you relief or joy no longer do or have become the problem. The world no longer feels like a safe place. You know that getting support would be helpful but where do you begin and how do you trust a stranger. You long to find support from a caring, compassionate person to help you learn self acceptance, develop resilience and move forward in your life. For there to be peace on Earth, we must each find peace within. I especially enjoy working with young adults, HSPs, "late bloomers" and creative artists.

I believe that everyone wants to feel loved, appreciated & valued. I enjoy helping individuals identify repeating lifelong patterns that prevent this from happening.

When you are triggered, have a trauma response, or in a PTSD loop it is overwhelming; this can be scary, and frustrating. Living life from this place makes it hard to connect with others and to know your sense of self. Challenging patterns become en-grained as feeling powerless leads to loss of hope. My goal with you is to help you acquire skills/tools to feel more embodied and to change the repetitive challenging loop by understanding more deeply the patterns at play. Self-empowerment is essential in our work together as my desire is to help you take your life back with confidence and ease.

It has been my experience that a person seeks therapy to obtain something, get better at something, or get rid of something. Whatever that ‘something’ is for you, let's get you there. Together we will explore your desired outcome for therapy, then we will work up a plan that research has proven to be effective and then tailor it to your unique self. So that at the end of your time in therapy you are able to walk away feeling, thinking, and doing better than when you started.

My heartfelt wish is to help you find your voice and connection in the world. There are so many ways we adapt to our circumstances, family, society or culture. To fit in, you might feel like you've lost part of yourself. You may feel isolated, like no one can possibly understand or even accept you. Maybe you grew up in a family affected by addiction, identify as LGBQT, or were raised in a religion that feels unaccepting. Perhaps you're an artist or unemployed and struggling with confidence. Whatever your circumstance, you can find the joy of being you.
