Ashley Tate de Lara, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ashley!

When I started college, I was going to be a professor or an attorney, I wasn't sure. I ended up in a Social Psychology course and found the material so interesting!

My focus

I typically work with individuals who suffer from anxiety, relationship concerns, and depression.

My approach

I tend to use Cognitive Behavior Therapy skills in my work as well as the importance of daily self-care skills.

My communication style

I encourage my clients to come to session with concerns they would like to talk about. This could be a list or a journal writing.

My journey to mental healthcare

I got a job at a private practice, helping out two psychologists. They mentored me, convinced me to become a psychologist as well :) I am so grateful to the people who encouraged me into this work—I so enjoy the work that I do.

My goals for you

I like a collaborative approach to setting goals. I also like to review progress on the goals as we go along.

Our first session

I prefer to allow my client to talk, and I'll ask questions or offer skills/tools as the conversation allows.
