Ashley Westphal

About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 6+ years of experience working with individuals with varied concerns and backgrounds, My experience in multiple settings has allowed me to develop diverse skills, build rapport and respond in an empathetic and supportive manner when working with individuals and families. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families to address mental health, including and not limited to: depression, anxiety, eating disorders, trauma, relationship, home and work related concerns, as well as substance use and behavior management. My therapeutic approach is client-centered and goal driven, and I seek to meet the client where they are, and use an eclectic style which allows me to gain a better understanding and view from the client's perspective. Together we develop goals, identify strengths and build skills to address life's challenges and personal obstacles.
