Ashley Frutos

Hi! I’m Ashley—former educator, school counselor, and third‐year doctoral student. I support humans ages 3+ navigating anxiety, perfectionism, ADHD, life transitions, burnout, and the pressure to hold everything together. My years in education uniquely equip me to help parents with practical strategies and to support educators and students at all levels working through burnout and imposter syndrome. My style brings together a person‐centered belief that you’re the expert on your own life, paired with research‐backed strategies, clear psychoeducation, and a light touch of humor to make the hard work feel more doable.

Through a person-centered lens, I integrate CBT to shift unhelpful thoughts, DBT to build emotion regulation, and narrative work to reshape the stories that shape you, paired with brain‐and‐body psychoeducation. I offer Play Therapy for kids, for parents, monthly consultations, parenting skills, 504 support, and realistic tools busy adults can use with ease.

We’ll start with a safe, easy introduction to discuss your goals and ensure you feel heard. From there, we’ll dive into your story to get the full picture:

• Current Concerns
• Your History: Understanding your background and health.
• Your Strengths: Identifying the resilience you already possess.

We’ll wrap up with a clear plan—focusing on your core challenges and defining what success looks like for you. You’ll leave feeling understood, hopeful, and ready for our next steps. You don’t have to navigate all of this alone. Whether you prefer in‐person sessions in Atascocita, walk‐and‐talk therapy, or virtual counseling, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. If you or your child are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for something to shift, I'm here to take the next step with you!
