Hi! I am Ashley, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and South Carolina with extensive knowledge of standard counseling practices and procedures and over 14 years of experience providing evidence-based psychotherapy services for individuals, families and couples. I strive to promote the mental health and emotional well-being of every individual I serve. I look forward to working with you.
In the first session, after getting to know you a little more, we will go over your goals and the course of treatment that works for you.
I am relatable. I have been through real life experiences and understand how certain stressors are hard to overcome without help from others. We can work with each other to prevail over these difficult obstacles.
EMDR focuses on the brain's ability to constantly learn, taking past experiences, and updating them with present information. Think of a computer downloading new information everyday but not being able to save pleasant experiences because it is subconsciously holding on to past traumatic memories. We will use bilateral stimulation as a way to help you effectively work through those disturbing memories.
"You're as good as anybody." -Spoken to Martin Luther King by his father. We will use CBT therapy to bring out the positive parts of you, to replace the negative thoughts that you have of yourself.
Everybody has a right to be understood. Using psychodynamic therapy, we will use different theories in psychology that see human functioning based upon the interaction of drives and forces within you, particularly the unconscious, and between the different structures of your personality.
Everyone is unique! We will use eclectic therapy to you manage your problems based upon your needs at the time of treatment. Your goals will be conducive to your state of being and expectations.
