I consider it an honor to walk alongside my clients on their journey towards healing. My therapy approach is highly collaborative. I value the therapeutic relationship more than any technique or theory itself. Initiating counseling is often a big and difficult step and I do my best to help you feel relaxed, comfortable and welcome. I am passionate about working with clients experiencing loss and grief. Many presenting issues come down to a loss- loss of a loved one, loss of a pregnancy, loss of hopes/dreams, loss of a marriage...and working through loss requires time, connection and a safe place.

I am trauma-focused and utilize my training in this area to help clients address and process the most difficult wounds in their lives.
I love to help bright, capable, and highly sensitive people find their way to a more authentic lived experience and break out of unhealthy patterns and relationships that result from low self-worth and trauma. I completed EMDR training in 2019 and this has given me a trauma-informed orientation. I also enjoy using the Enneagram framework to help clients become more aware of patterns of personality. I call my business Deep Well Journey because I believe that wellness involves a purposeful journey into the deepest parts of the self in order to tend wounds, reconnect with values, and discover unique potential and purpose.

I believe that all of us can benefit from additional support in different seasons of our lives. It takes bravery to reach out and meet with someone, and I’m passionate about building a relationship with my clients where they are able to engage with their own resilience and innate ability to heal. Many of us develop patterns that help us move through and cope with what we have experienced, and often, we realize these strategies are no longer serving us, and are keeping us from experiencing the full life we desire. I walk alongside my clients in helping them become reconnected to their true selves, and reach their goals.

You were born whole and good. My own healing journey led me to Internal Family Systems (IFS), giving me a way to know and love all the parts of myself. I wasn’t just unburdening the parts of me who were desperately coping, I was bringing in calm, connectedness, compassion, and choice I never realized was available to me.

You may be experiencing "stuckness" in your life, feeling caught in loops that have left you overwhelmed and in pain. Yet, something brought you here – somewhere within you is an action tendency to move toward healing, growth, and connection. Whatever burdens your body has carried alone - trauma, OCD, shame, identity struggles, loss, transitions, or existing in a world where you never felt welcome or understood - together, we can tap into that healing energy already within you, create a safe container for exploration of painful experiences, reconstruct old ways of being, and make space for movement toward what matters most to you.

Welcome, and thanks for reading my profile. I’m Scott. You may be here because anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or relationship patterns have left your inner life feeling chaotic, numb, or difficult to understand. Or maybe you want therapy that goes deeper than coping skills and helps you explore meaning, identity, and the parts of you that feel stuck. My work is grounded, compassionate, and depth-oriented, drawing from EMDR, IFS, Brainspotting, mindfulness, psychedelic integration, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and existential/nondual self-inquiry.

I believe that we all deserve support and at the core of personal transformation is a duality of self-compassion and desire for change. As humans we are intrinsically wired for connection, resiliency and healing. However, sometimes there are things from the past or other life stressors that cause us to feel stuck and that healing is out of our reach. I am deeply interested in the mind-body connection and believe reconnecting to our bodies can be incredibly transformational. I work with folks in adolescence and adulthood who are desiring to address trauma, optimal performance, depression, anxiety and life transitions.

Tired of years of therapy and no true, lasting healing? I work with individuals that have tried many forms of therapy, but still feel the deep pain of feeling alone, stuck, in a toxic relationship again, frequently being triggered, and haunted by their past. I specialize in working with adults who experienced childhood sexual abuse, narcissistic abuse, and trauma. Childhood trauma doesn't have to continue to have its grip on you, and take away your happiness! True healing is possible with EMDR. Over the 30 years that I have been in this field, I have seen hundreds of clients get their life, joy and happiness back.

Ashley Elmquist works with clients looking to find healing by stopping cycles of toxic stress related to trauma or core issues developed in childhood. Growth from this type of work fosters healthy relationships, effective parenting, and a wholehearted approach to living. When children or teens feel out of control or parents feel overwhelmed, working through issues that require learning how to emotionally regulate (i.e. trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, ADD, or OCD) can lead to healing that improves one’s ability to securely connect in relationships.
