Ashley Abbott

My name is Ashley Abbott, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have a diverse background working with children and families who have experienced abuse/neglect, within systems such as the foster care system, the juvenile justice system, inpatient, psychiatric residential treatment facilities, and outpatient settings I have provided direct support services in group homes, court advocacy, and a variety of therapy services such as group, family and individual. These experiences have equipped me with valuable skills in crisis management, de-escalation, family conflict resolution, and supporting individuals facing complex and challenging circumstances. With training in evidenced-based modalities, I can treat anxiety, depressive disorders, life transitions, relationship problems, suicidal ideation, and behavioral challenges. I am also trained to treat trauma and PTSD with EMDR. I am passionate about partnering with clients who are committed to personal growth and willing to actively engage in the therapeutic process. I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults and adults.

Therapy with me is an active and collaborative experience. I believe in getting to the heart of the matter with honesty, compassion, and a clear path forward. My approach is direct but deeply supportive—I don’t just sit back and listen, I actively help you uncover what’s not working, explore what’s possible, and take meaningful steps toward lasting change. Clients often tell me they appreciate my warmth, straightforwardness, and ability to hold space without judgment. Whether you're navigating anxiety, past trauma, relationship patterns, or life transitions, I'm here to walk with you—offering encouragement, clarity, and tools to help you move forward with confidence and purpose, no matter who you are or where you're starting from. Change is possible, and you don't have to do it alone.

What sets me apart is my genuine warmth and commitment to working alongside you every step of the way. I prioritize clear communication, so you always feel heard and understood, and I strive to make each session productive, focused, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we move forward side by side—you’re never alone in this process.

Clients often share that, for the first time working with me, they feel truly seen, accepted, and understood. They leave sessions with a renewed sense of hope, deeper self-awareness, and practical tools they can confidently apply in daily life.

If you’re ready to begin your journey or simply exploring what therapy might offer, I’d be honored to connect with you.
