Great to meet you!

I am the owner of Ashley Nicole Counseling Services and a Licensed Independent Social Worker. I provide services to young adults and adults. Clinically, I am most successful working with individuals who are looking to work on relationship issues (peer, family, romantic, parent-child, work, etc), anxiety, depression, and parenting struggles. I enjoy helping clients identify their goals, develop skills to work toward those goals, and feel more confident in their own abilities.

My approach to therapy

I take a strength-based approach to my work with clients and utilize these strengths to help people grow and build their skills. My clinical approach is individualized, and I pull from a variety of modalities used in individual and family therapy. Additionally, I take a trauma-informed approach to my work with clients.

You are the expert in you, and I am here to support you in the therapy process. I aim to offer an affirming space and encourage client feedback.

What you can expect from me

Focus on your goals, what is going well in your life, and what you want to change.
