Ashley A Bauman, LMHC, LPCC — Therapist in Washington

Hi there, I'm Ashley A!

If you're looking for someone who can understand, validate, and give you a safe place to explore and process all emotions, look no further. Not only will you have the space to be your authentic self, you will also have a tailored experience for navigating, healing, and finding closure / starting that closure to a more meaningful and peaceful life.

My focus

I have had the pleasure of working with all types of mental health and substance use disorders, from schizophrenia, borderline personality disorders, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief/loss issues, and more. I have been affiliated with the Marine Corps Infantry for over 15 years, working alongside Marines and their dependents with various.

My approach

I view all individuals as having the ability to choose their own personal path for growth and development based on the freedom to make their own decisions and are responsible for their own actions. I enjoy working with clients to find their strengths to help promote and encourage healthy change.

My communication style

I have a direct approach that is complemented by empathy and gives clients the space to process in their own way while helping to navigate around trickier emotions, blocks, and different perspectives of their situation.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began when I saw, firsthand, a broken mental health system in the military and how our veterans and their mental health were not taken as seriously as they are currently. This led to curiosity for all individuals and helping to change the views and stigmas of seeking mental health.

My goals for you

I am well-rounded in the use of evidence-based techniques, strategies, and theories to help clients learn new coping skills and achieve their goals and needs.

Our first session

This session is all about getting to know you, what your goals are, and what is important to you. You set the tone and pace of your experience with me and the sessions you would like to have. This allows me to fine-tune and tailor the tools and space needed to get you to a better place through our time together.
