Ashley Larios, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ashley!

I have a passion for helping individuals heal the parts of themselves they feel ashamed of. As a first-generation daughter of immigrants, I know what it's like to see family struggle with mental health but feel they have no one to talk to. You do not need to go through life alone. Your experiences are valid.

My focus

I work with diverse populations who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, hyperactivity and inattentiveness, cultural and economic stress, and family conflict.

My approach

My approach is client-driven and collaborative. I meet you where you are and love for you to take the lead. I believe in open communication and always want feedback about what's working. I provide a safe, warm environment using strengths-based therapy, trauma-focused interventions, mindfulness, and CBT.

My communication style

I am welcoming, warm, sensitive, and understanding with a commitment to connecting with my clients on a deeper level. My communication style is open and collaborative. I listen with intention and provide honest feedback to help support you in meeting your individual goals in therapy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been the sensitive person who genuinely asks about people's day because of a real interest in connecting to others. These values, paired with my own experiences with mental health difficulties, drove my passion to work in this field. Every day, I am grateful to connect with people and be of service.

My goals for you

Together, we work to help you become the version of yourself you have always wanted to be. Therapy is a space where you can explore your strengths, address challenges, and create meaningful change in your life.

Our first session

During the first session, I enjoy learning about what makes you YOU outside of the difficulties you may be experiencing. I love to learn about your interests, family life, culture, and job. I want to understand your goals for therapy and life, so together we can set the tone for treatment early on.
