Welcome! I'm Ashley Talkington. Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I prioritize building trust and rapport with patients, ensuring they feel heard and valued. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable sharing their concerns. I empower patients by providing education about their conditions, treatment options, and self-care strategies. This helps them take an active role in their health and fosters long-term improvements. Every patient is unique, and I excel at tailoring treatment plans to individual needs, adapting to unexpected challenges, and finding creative solutions when standard approaches may not be effective.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I provide evidence-based treatments, including psychotherapy and medication management, tailored to the unique needs of clients. My nursing background emphasizes compassionate care, making me adept at managing complex and severe cases with a focus on building trust.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and actions are interconnected, and negative thoughts and feelings can trap you in a negative cycle. CBT aims to help you deal with overwhelming problems in a more positive way by breaking them down into smaller parts.
