Ashley Tomlinson
I am a patient and empathic therapist who is passionate about connecting with others and supporting them on their paths toward growth. I strongly believe that each person holds within them the strength to overcome life's challenges and may benefit from reflection, guidance and skills gained working with a therapist to get there. I am an integrative therapist who draws from relational psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques as fits the needs of individual clients. I work with adult clients, and also have the experience and therapeutic expertise to work with child and adolescent clients. My approach allows for a safe and contained space for self-expression and to process challenging experiences.
My areas of clinical expertise include trauma, anxiety, depression, life changes, grief and loss, and relational issues.

First session
Have you been feeling overwhelmed or coping with painful emotions? I support my clients to share and gain insight into the origin of their challenges -- but, as importantly, my goal is for you to leave sessions with strategies to help make those difficult emotions more manageable in the here-and-now. You can expect that I will be open with you and receptive to feedback as we co-create your therapeutic journey.
Strengths
I am reflective, patient and have a deep understanding of the impact of stressful or traumatic experiences. I will work with you to create a safe therapeutic space for your growth and exploration during sessions.
Ideal clients
I am skilled at treating clients with anxiety, depression, or who are coping with life changes or the impact of traumatic experiences. I see adults, children and adolescents.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use cognitive-behavioral therapy as a foundational intervention to help clients increase their awareness of anxious or unhelpful thoughts/beliefs, and learn coping skills to better manage those thoughts and experiences.
EMDR
I am trained in EMDR, which is an evidence-based approach that uses dual-attention stimulation to help clients reprocess traumatic experiences, integrate more positive beliefs, and gain new insights.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I draw on mindfulness and acceptance-based practices to help my clients attune to their emotions and bodily sensations, reduce anxiety and feel more present and centered.
