Ashley Murphy
I utilize an Integrative/Eclectic approach to therapy that includes: a mindfulness-based and strength-based approach that is compassion-focused, trauma-informed, and affirming of each client's unique identities and lived experiences through a Feminist therapy/Social Justice lens.
I also often utilize Internal Family Systems parts-work, Narrative-therapy, and DBT.

First session
During our first session, I look forward to getting to know more about you, your story/stories, your various identities/cultural background/your family's story, your community and the important people in your life, what brings you to tele-therapy at this time, what are you hoping to attend to during, and of course be sure to address YOUR questions and concerns as you interview me as your potential new therapist!
