Ashley Childs

Greetings!

I'm Ashley Childs, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor at Inner Serenity. I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), with training in both the standard protocol and advanced protocols for acute and ongoing stress. Additionally, I am a certified Vinyasa and Kemetic Yoga instructor. I am deeply committed to integrating body-centered approaches in therapy, adopting a client-centered framework that recognizes individuals as the experts of their own experiences and narratives. I emphasize a holistic Mind & Body perspective, acknowledging the profound impact that experiences have on both.

I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology from Hampton University and my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Temple University in 2022. I have gained valuable experience working with two nonprofit organizations, where I focused on supporting individuals in healing from sexual assault, human trafficking, and domestic violence.

In addition, I have been a certified yoga instructor since 2019, integrating this therapeutic modality into my work with clients. I am deeply passionate about addressing and healing the effects of inter-generational trauma, believing that a holistic approach is essential for fostering lasting healing and personal growth.
