Ashley Goodey

My communication style

My main focus is to listen to your needs and ensure I understand where you're coming from. I'm warm and non-judgmental, but I'm not afraid to be direct and tell you what you need to hear. I like to assign homework as needed to keep therapy going even when we're not together. I'm always open to feedback. The priority is always you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist after witnessing strong role models in my life choose similar paths. I have a strong draw to listen and help others when they feel like the world is crashing down. Everyone needs someone to hear them out and listen, and I hope I can be that person to my clients.

My goals for you

Goals are typically one of the first things I go over with clients. I like to find out your strengths and what has worked for you in the past. I understand that therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and what works for one person may not work for someone else. Goals are not set in stone and are something we can adjust and fine-tune as we go along.

Our first session

I start by letting you explain what led you to seek therapy. I spend the first session getting to know you so we can build a therapeutic relationship and ensure it's a good fit. We'll go over your goals and what you'd like to accomplish. I want to meet you where you are and allow you to ask questions.
