My name is Ashley Perkins, LCSW and I have an intensive background working and serving my community. My educational background is BA Sociology from UC Riverside and MSW from Columbia University. I have worked closely in community activism, community organizing, women's health, mental health, and herbalism. I am a public speaker, community event planner and organizer, radio/podcast personality, tv personality, and herbalist. Empowerment is my approach to every avenue that I interact with, and therefore I believe that everyone can achieve growth if that is what they truly wish to achieve and work towards. I have lived and worked in different areas of the United States and have also lived abroad while working within the field of herbalism.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session we will discuss motivations for therapy, current issues/concerns with life, and goals for therapy. We will also discuss my role as a provider as well as my standards for communication regarding policy, and overall expectations for service.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As your provider I want for you to know that you have a safe space to discuss your life, and your unique needs. I understand that not everyone is of the same background or belief system, and am open to learn about how you experience life. I will not try to dictate what your goals should be for therapy, but rather am here to support you. I will however challenge you. I also value your privacy.
