Hi! Thank you for being here and taking this step. My name is Ashley and l work with clients aged 18 and up. My approach is more person centered while utilizing CBT, and DBT techniques. I also have interest in pulling in techniques from Existentalism into our sessions to help clients cultivate more meaning and purpose into their daily lives.
During an initial session, l will gather your historical information and explore your current goals for treatment.
My clients have shared that my empathy alone has helped them feel safe in the therapeutic space and has helped them feel heard.
My clients are often coming into treatment due to a change that is causing them distress. My clients are often coming in motivated for treatment and looking to decrease their level of distress and now it has impacted their current level of functioning.
I often utilize CBT with my clients to help them learn how to reframe their maladaptive thinking to a more realistic perspective.
