Expressive Arts Therapists in Ashland, VA

Are you a woman struggling with health issues, chronic pain, trauma, anxiety or depression? Perhaps you can't remember the last time you felt good emotionally or physically. Maybe you are a woman who lacks the motivation to incorporate self care into your life which has left you feeling trapped in your own personal discomfort. No matter what challenges you may be experiencing, there is a solution. I believe that all women deserve to be vibrant, happy, strong and live a life of abundant health. Psychotherapy, proper nutrition, and lifestyle management can reverse or prevent disease and improve your mood drastically.

Hi I’m Ashley, the founder and heart of WATWC. I love working with highly ambitious young professional Black Women and Women of Color who desire to reclaim control from anxiety stemming from childhood trauma and live boldly with purpose. I’m often described by my clients as real, relatable, and culturally responsive. Let's be honest! Starting therapy can bring up so many emotions. That's why it is essential for me to infuse the therapy room with fun, laughter, and encouragement. I value gently challenging those I work with to redefine self-care and prioritize their well-being, even while balancing the many roles they fulfill.

I am a trauma-informed therapist with a background in art therapy. I believe that the primary healing component of therapy lies within the corrective emotional experience of the therapeutic relationship, and I work to bring that to each client with whom I work.

I am currently accepting new clients! I work with clients of all ages and provide individual as well as family therapy. I have 10+ years of client experience and have worked in various settings, including crisis stabilization, public school systems, and outpatient agencies.

I help address the root causes of behavioral disorders and mental health issues, whether stress in the home, work related stressors, physical, relational, etc. I use an array of psychotherapy modalities including child centered play therapy (sand, art, dance, music), cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, family counseling as well as industrial organizational psychology modalities for work related stressors. The goal is to decrease the behavioral disorders and / or mental health symptoms to restore optimal functioning in the home and work environment.

Allow Me to Introduce Myself, My name Ta Mara P. Williams, Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Substance Abuse Counselor, Entrepreneur, CEO/ Boss Lady, and Owner of Ta Mara’s Promise. I didn’t start my life with all of these titles. I had to work hard for each one of them. Through every challenge, every stumbling block, and every failure I learned to survive in"the struggle." Having a firsthand understanding that life is not always “rainbows and sunshine", but there are storms that can knock you to your knees. I believe It is my job as a therapist to help you see the light in the midst of your darkness.

I believe that healing is ongoing, met by exploring our inner most thoughts and feelings. I have experience supporting adolescents & adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma symptoms, and relationship challenges.

I serve as a guide as people work on shifting their view of themselves and the world through improving self-esteem, self-worth, and interpersonal dynamics. I value processing how life experiences have shaped who we are and who we are becoming. My approach is depth-based, with a focus on attachment theory.
