Ashley Butler

My communication style

I practice active listening and reflection, asking questions to help you build upon strengths, identify issues holding you back, and find ways to manage them. I offer feedback to reveal patterns you may not have seen and help discover factors behind setbacks. I may suggest reflective exercises or art-based work based on your preferences.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began in youth when I became fascinated by psychology and how each person has a unique experience. I've worked with a wide array of individuals, each with distinct strengths, challenges, and protective factors. I continue to feel fascinated by each person I work with and driven to help them thrive.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with you to identify what you'd like to change or build upon, then guide you in making positive changes in your life.

Our first session

I have three goals for our first session: for you to feel safe and heard, for me to understand your life story and values, and to begin forming ideas about what we can work on together. My hope is these ideas will grow as we meet and develop a therapeutic partnership where you feel encouraged, safe, and able to grow into the person you wish to be.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
