Ashley Blackmore

Hi, I'm Ashley! I am a clinician and creative. I believe in the importance of taking care of your mental health to support wellness and overall quality of life. I work with those navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and the emotional weight of always feeling like they have to hold everything together. Many of my clients are adolescents (13+) navigating growing pains like learning who they are or the world around them, high-achieving professionals, caregivers, and helping professionals who are used to showing up for everyone else but struggle to make space for themselves.

When I am not in session, I enjoy chill days on my couch, traveling, spending time with my loved ones, or making candles and related calming tools.

My approach to therapy is warm, creative, and empowering. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and challenged toward meaningful growth. My style is collaborative, conversational, and goal-oriented, helping clients better understand themselves while building practical tools they can use in everyday life.

I integrate evidenced based and person-centered approaches to help clients navigate traumatic experiences, anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and emotional wellness. Together, we'll explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, strengthen your coping skills, and build confidence in your ability to move forward with greater clarity and self-awareness.

The first session is an opportunity for us to meet and begin building a therapeutic relationship. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your current challenges, and talk about what you hope to gain from the process.

You can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where you don't have to have everything figured out before you arrive. My goal is to help you feel comfortable enough to share your story while identifying initial goals and next steps that feel realistic and meaningful to you.

By the end of our first session, you'll have a clearer understanding of how we can work together and a plan for moving forward.
