First, let me introduce myself. My name is Ashley Naginewicz, Ed.D, LMHC. I hold a doctoral degree in professional counseling and am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Massachusetts. I have been working in the field of counseling for 10 years. I have experience working with a broad range of mental health disorders and addictions. I understand that often, addiction disorders can be co-occurring with a mental health diagnosis. Throughout the years I have worked with a diverse client population with many different ages, genders, race, and cultures. I believe that counseling is an individualized treatment.
If you are reading this, it means that you are ready to take the journey in to counseling. This journey is one that is beneficial and does not only address things we identify as our counseling goals, but can also lead to an overall richer and fuller life. Everyone can benefit from the support and understanding the counseling provides.
I enjoy helping clients enter recovery from alcohol and substance use issues through motivational interviewing techniques and working on coping skills that address more than just issues with dependency. I also use the techniques of DBT and CBT that can be beneficial for clients overcoming anxiety disorders, depression, and coping with life's changes including job and relationship changes. I have taken specialty courses related to trauma and how to heal from traumatic experiences. I believe that the client is the center of the counseling journey where autonomy and respect is the main priority, thus, individualizing the treatment of each client. Collaboratively, we will work together through this process to reach the goals that you have determined.

Dr. Naginewicz is the first and the best therapist I had worked with, she actively listened my concerns and always asked the right questions, which leaning towards a deeper layer of the self restraining mindset that I have not realized before. She doesn’t judge your values, she fully respects what you are saying and helps you to understand where that comes from, I think she combines different approaches so organically that suits my needs. I appreciate her patience and timeliness in supporting me. I would highly recommend Dr. Naginewicz for those who likes to reflect a lot and have lots of self consciousness, I found strength for breaking the perfectionism and just walk one step at a time.
