Ashley is caring, kind, considerate, friendly, and professional. She seems to know when to let me talk, and when hard questions need to be asked. I really appreciate her support.

Ashley really helped me at multiple times. In some ways, it felt like talking to a friend. My wife has a masters in psychology and I know a lot of the normal check box questions. Ashley still asked them but she also realized that I needed a much more personal touch and was able to provide that. She would reach out to check up on me but it never felt like a sales pitch, just a genuine ask.

I have never had a therapist that I’ve truly enjoyed quite like Ashley! She listens thoughtfully & responds with advice, observations, and other helpful tidbits. I truly cannot recommend her enough.

Ashley is a wonderful therapist. She truly listens and creates a supportive space, while also challenging me to think more deeply about my patterns and perspectives. I appreciate that she doesn’t take over the conversation but instead offers thoughtful feedback, insightful questions, and new ways of looking at things. Working with her has been both grounding and transformative.

Within the first session of talking with Ashley I could already feel how experienced she was; she knew what questions to ask to help guide me since it’s my first time doing therapy, and once we found a good goal she kept us focused so I could get the most out of our session. I feel like I’ve made considerable progress in the few sessions we’ve had together!

Ashley is a compassionate and professional therapist. She responds to my journal entries in a timely manner, has a variety of time slots available for individual therapy, and supports therapeutic interaction via video, voice or text. Her insight into my concerns and recognization of the progress I’ve made are highly appreciated.

Ashley has been extremely supportive, comforting and encouraging. I've been dealing with a lot of grief and results of family and social dysfunction. Ashley has been realistic in her assessments of the situations and encouraging of my next steps in dealing with these matters. She is extremely respectful, responsive and insightful.
Written on Jan 03, 2025 after therapy with Carolyn "Ashley" for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, and parenting issues
She is an incredibly good listener, insightful, understanding, and as flexible as she can be.
She’s been there as an ear of sympathy and reminder of my own statements and views during an incredibly difficult and foggy period due to narcissistic abuse systematized by the judicial system and family court where I lived.
I recommend her without reservation. So many people are dealing with cluster B antisocial personality disorders in the population affecting our lives…. Statistically… evidence shows the entire world has a notable increase of narcissism and other such related disorders regardless of the reasons… a therapist very familiar with these disorders and behavior patterns is someone you’ll want to speak to when things get confusing. Boundaries are more important than good gestures and… I appreciate not feeling alone or as easily fooled thanks to our sessions.

I am so grateful for Ashley. I always feel heard, understood, and I appreciate the way she skillfully offers me new positive ways to think about things or challenges negative thinking patterns. She’s helped me to break through some barriers and is actively helping me put bad habits to rest and pick up new healthy ones. Without her guidance and support, I wouldn’t be able to move closer to a place of peace and joy.
