I pull from multiple modalities, including strength-based, person-centered, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
My name is Ashley Nederveld, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based outside of Grand Rapids, Michigan. I work with clients via telehealth throughout the state of Michigan. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and stress. I have found that my approach works well with individuals who are experiencing stress due to a period of life transitions. This may include going off to college, welcoming a new baby, job/career changes, setting boundaries, or retirement adjustments.

Therapy can be a great space for figuring out what you want out of life and creating the roadmap to make it happen. I always want your perspective to be heard and your feelings to be validated. Together, we’ll move at a pace that’s comfortable for you. You’re in control here. I love seeing people redirecting their energy, putting in a little effort, and experiencing relief. I often see people feeling really motivated by this, gaining a sense of empowerment to keep going, and take back control of their lives – shifting away from just surviving to actually thriving.

Strength-Based Therapists

How does strength-based therapy work?

During strength-based therapy sessions, the therapist will ask about an individual’s experiences of stress, pain, or trauma with the goal of orienting the client to view themselves as a survivor rather than a victim, and focusing on their strengths rather than on their weaknesses. In framing a client’s personal narrative along these lines, the therapist and client work together to identify existing skills that can be harnessed.

Is strength-based therapy evidence-based?

Strength-based therapy is an evidence-based treatment that has been studied extensively and shown to be effective across domains. The treatment has been found to be particularly effective in helping individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns. Strength-based therapy has been used by therapists to help clients for more than 60 years.

How long does strength-based therapy last?

There’s no precise timeline for strength-based therapy. The duration of treatment depends on the individual’s specific needs and goals and the severity of their concerns. Some individuals may find they achieve their therapeutic goals quickly, while others might benefit from ongoing support and guidance in order to continue progressing.

How effective is strength-based therapy?

Clinical research and decades of practice have shown strength-based therapy to be an effective treatment to improve mental health and well-being for many conditions. The treatment can engender a sense of connection and collaboration between the therapist and the individual, fostering a positive therapeutic relationship. For individuals with narcissistic tendencies, strength-based therapy may be less effective, as the focus on the individual’s strengths may undermine the work needed to honestly assess the challenges the individual faces.
