Ashley Mader
I am so glad that you are considering starting therapy! I know that this can be a hard process to begin, and I want to make it as comfortable as possible with all of the hope that I am the right therapist for you! I work with women who find themselves dealing with unresolved traumatic experiences. These experiences can significantly decrease our overall well-being, but the pain does not have to be permanent. My passion is to help clients find freedom from pain and build a restored sense of hope.
I typically utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy within my counseling sessions to aid in overcoming unhelpful, irrational thoughts and beliefs.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start to get to know each other and explore the challenges you are facing. Then, we will work together to create a plan specifically for you to work through in upcoming sessions.
Strengths
The most important thing for me as a therapist is building a trusting relationship and safe atmosphere for my clients. This is crucial for walking through the stages of healing toward a fulfilled life.
Ideal clients
My ideal clients are adults who are feeling stuck in their life from a painful past or current life changes. Sometimes, different stages of life along with past experiences present challenges and a shift in beliefs about who we are and who we are meant to be. My passion is to help those who are tired of just surviving and ready to start actually healing.
