Ashley Askins

My communication style

I prioritize open and honest communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and create a safe space to reflect on your experiences while being empathetic. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm, patient, and honest. You can also expect me to show as authentic.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with a desire to help and support others through life's challenges. Working with clients in therapeutic spaces has shown me how power it can be to feel supported and validated. I’m driven by the belief that everyone deserves a safe space and the opportunity to heal.

My goals for you

I view therapy as collaborative. Together, we’ll set goals that are important to you and your growth. I believe you are the expert in your life, so whether your goal is to improve relationships, build self-esteem, or pursue personal growth.

Our first session

In our first session, I’ll take time to get to know you and your story. Remember, you’re in charge, so we’ll move at your pace as we begin setting goals for your journey. I strive to create a calm, safe environment where you can be vulnerable and feel free to be your authentic self.
