Clayton, NC - Accepting clients in NC

My name is Ashley and I have been a therapist for 11 years now. I enjoy traveling and spending time with my pets. Therapy has a lot to do with the bond between the therapist and the client. Change really can happen if the relationship is there. Most treatment methods can be fairly applicable if you develop that relationship. If you have found that to be a struggle in the past you may of had a bad connection with your therapist.

I received my BSW at UNC-Pembroke in 2014 and my MSW in 2015 from the advanced standing program at UNC-Pembroke. I have 8 years of experience in composing the minds of individuals of all ages. I have experience working in various Social Work settings. However, I am passionate about helping young adult women navigate the unique challenges that come with ADHD, especially during the whirlwind years of college life. Balancing academic pressure, social demands, and personal growth can be overwhelming, and ADHD often adds an extra layer of difficulty. But I believe that with the right tools and support, you can not only manage your ADHD but also embrace your unique strengths. My approach is rooted in helping you find composure—a sense of calm and control in the midst of life's chaos. Together, we'll work on strategies to improve focus, manage stress, and develop the self-compassion you need to thrive. Whether it's tackling procrastination, organizing your academic life, or finding ways to stay grounded, I’m here to guide you through it with practical tools and a compassionate, non-judgmental space. If you’ve been struggling with ADHD in college, feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, know that you are not alone. My goal is to help you feel confident, balanced, and equipped to face the challenges of both school and life with clarity and composure. Let’s work together to build the resilience and self-awareness you need to succeed—on your terms.

As a licensed professional counselor for over a decade, I consider it an honor to create a sacred space with a client in the therapeutic relationship. As clients are able to unravel developmental traumas, process relational difficulties, and dispel long-held cognitive beliefs, true healing emerges within.

In my free time, I love to visit the shores of Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina with my husband of 31 years and our mini-Australian Shepherd, Brodie .

Hope Mills, NC - Accepting clients in NC

I strongly feel that to help a person, the person must feel comfortable, truly heard, understood, and valued. My role is to help foster a safe, non-judgmental, and empowering space that can help guide you to reach your goals. I am a licensed clinical social worker. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD and trauma. Some of the people with whom I have worked are looking to make a specific change and are looking for support, others are struggling with challenging symptoms and are looking for relief, others are having difficulties managing emotions or maintaining relationships. My approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, collaborative, creative, and adaptive. I use an integrated and holistic approach so that therapy is unique to each individual and their needs. I pull from and utilize various evidence-based therapeutic modalities when working with individuals; including: EMDR, TF-CBT, Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Cognitive Processing (CPT), PE, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), solution focused and strengths-based perspectives, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. Using a private and secure virtual platform. Adult individual, couples or family sessions are welcomed. I look forward to hearing from you.
