Ashley Belles

I have been a practicing therapist for almost 5 years worked with a variety of populations and backgrounds. I have experience working with domestic violence survivors, adults with various comorbid diagnoses, and adolescents/ youth dealing with change, mood disorders and impulse control concerns. I currently work primarily with adolescents and young adults specializing in anxiety, depression, basic stress/life concerns, relationships (romantic or family) difficulties, PTSD and managing changes in life.

The approach I find most authentic to my style is a person-centered approach using CBT style techniques. This allows you to be in control, with my help of directing sessions to stay on track to get the best progress. With a person-centered approach, each session is centered around what will be most helpful to you in each moment without a set structured plan or coursework.

The most important part of therapy is feeling safe, comfortable and heard in this environment. For your first session, we will focus on building the foundation to an environment that feels comfortable for you, learning what you would like to focus on throughout your time in therapy and reviewing any and all necessary background information.
