My name is Ashley Zarco. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 4 years of experience. I received my Masters Degree from North Carolina State University. I enjoy helping clients develop appropriate copings skills, identify goals, work towards these individuals goals and progress life events to help them become the best person that could be. I meet everyone where they are at and will be with a client every step of the way.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, we reviewed intake assessment and start with introduction. I allow time for clients to expand on reasons bring them into therapy to provide me with a greater understanding of current concerns. This allows us to develop appropriate goals for our time together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist working with professionals, I stride to create a safe place for all clients from many different walks of life. We all come for a variety of life circumstances trying to get to the next level. I have many experiences with making measurable goals to help clients reach their overall best self.

I enjoy working with young adults who are eager to make change and learn new skills. My clients often feel overwhelmed with life transitions, have experiences generational trauma or struggling to figure out their next steps. I help clients gain appropriate tools and understanding to move forward.
