Dr. Ashley Geerts-Perry - Assessment and Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Verified Verified
Plano, TX 75093
My therapeutic approach has foundations in psychodynamic, attachment, and family systems theories.
In my practice, I offer comprehensive psychological assessments and therapy with adults, children, and families. Regarding testing and evaluation, my specialties include assessing and diagnosing a range of neurodevelopmental and socioemotional concerns, including Autism, ADHD, learning differences, intellectual ability, anxiety, depression, trauma, and personality functioning. I believe psychological assessment is a powerful therapeutic intervention and that accurate diagnosing is critical in identifying treatment approaches and informing academic placements.

Waitlist for new clients
My goal is to interpret the child's play to parents and give them better tools and skills to help their children and family.
Waitlisting for June 2024. Hi, I'm Noelle, I'm passionate about helping children, teens and adults be the best versions of themselves. I believe that all people have an innate tendency toward growth. However, growth can be impacted by life events we may not have control over. Noelle will work with you to explore any barriers and roadblocks that have come your way, while also helping you get to know yourself and your strengths. Noelle supports neurodiversity by providing individualized care. Not all brains work the same- and that’s okay, and even great! Noelle uses acceptance, validation and provides advocacy skills where needed.

Reach out for a free consultation and let me know how I can help you, your child or a family member on their desired journey.
Children often do not have the words to express what they are thinking or feeling. Traditional talk therapy alone is rarely successful in helping children process difficult life situations. I help children overcome anxiety, depression, and other challenges. I also assist parents in building strong, open relationships with their children. If your child is going through anxiety, sadness, behavior problems, social issues, or life changes (divorce, loss of a loved one, etc.) I am happy to walk along side them in their journey. In addition to working with children, I also see teens and adults.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
