Ashlie Shipes, LCSW — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Ashlie!

I am so glad you are here! I work with clients who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or stretched thin and will provide a supportive space where we will identify what is keeping you stuck and build tools that help move you forward and gain your life back. My approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to your unique story.

My focus

I support clients by creating a safe, collaborative space where they feel heard and understood. Together, we identify patterns, build practical coping skills, and move toward meaningful change. I tailor treatment to each person's goals, helping them strengthen resilience and create lasting emotional growth and change.

My approach

I provide compassionate, collaborative care, blending evidence-based techniques with a warm, nonjudgmental space. Together, we will explore patterns, build practical tools, and focus on what matters most to you. I will provide support while helping you grow, build resilience, and feel empowered to create meaningful change.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I balance empathy with gentle honesty, offering clear feedback while honoring each client's pace. I strive to create a space that feels safe and non-judgmental where clients feel both supported and empowered to explore, reflect, and grow.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey grew from a desire to understand people and help them feel less alone in their struggles. Through education, clinical training, and personal growth, I developed a passion for compassionate, evidence-based care. Each step strengthened by commitment to creating safe spaces where healing, insight, and meaningful change can unfold.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by breaking big changes into clear, manageable steps. Together, we clarify what matters most, identify barriers, and build practical skills that support progress. I provide accountability, encouragement, and evidence-based tools so clients can move forward with confidence and create sustainable change.

Our first session

A first session with me is welcoming, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel at ease. We will explore what brings you in, clarify your goals, and begin identifying patterns and strengths. I'll answer your questions, explain my approach, and work with you to create a plan that feels supportive, practical, and tailored to your needs.
