Ashley Harlan

Hello! I am licensed professional counselor and certified advanced alcohol and drug counselor who specializes in working with adolescents and young adults who have experienced trauma, substance use, life stressors and transitions, depression, and anxiety. I have experience in treating adjudicated and dependent adolescents who struggle with substance use and mental health concerns. I have also found a passion for working with young adults who wish to improve boundaries and build self-esteem.

I use a person-centered approach, meaning I tailor my approach to each individual client's needs and goals. What you want in treatment is important! I am trained in treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Motivational Interviewing.

My aim is to create a safe and comfortable space for my clients to utilize in whichever way they wish. I love incorporating humor into the therapy space and pride myself as being non-judgmental and open-minded. I am also LGBTQIA+ affirmative. Lastly, I have a great love for cats, enjoy playing games of all sorts, and spending time with my friends and family.
