I’m Ashley Parrish, an LCSW & LICSW licensed in Texas and Washington. I specialize in EMDR and somatic, trauma-informed therapy for adults who feel stuck in survival mode, anxious, on edge, shut down, burnt out, or disconnected from themselves. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel exhausted, reactive, or numb on the inside. I’m also certified in breathwork and meditation, and I use those tools in a grounded way to support regulation and real change.
My approach is nervous system–informed and depth-oriented: we build safety and regulation first, then work with what’s underneath. I use EMDR (including resourcing/installation and body-based targeting), somatic tracking, parts work, and practical tools to shift patterns at the root, not just managing symptoms. Sessions are collaborative and paced; we pay attention to body cues, triggers, and the beliefs your system learned to carry. The goal is more capacity, more choice, and a steadier relationship with yourself.
Your first session is about relief and clarity. We’ll map the pattern - triggers, body signals, emotions, and the beliefs underneath - so we’re not guessing. I’ll help you settle your system enough to think and feel more clearly, then we’ll outline a plan for deeper work (somatic + EMDR when appropriate). You’ll leave with a steadier footing and a concrete next step.
