Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Ashlie Austin, a therapist passionate about helping women who feel “never enough” find relief, confidence, and self-compassion. I specialize in working with women navigating perfectionism, ADHD, and anxiety, and I provide trauma-informed care to help untangle the experiences that keep you feeling stuck. I’m trained in EMDR, which can be especially effective for healing from painful memories and breaking free from patterns rooted in the past. Above all, I want my clients to know they don’t have to figure it all out alone.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate, grounding, and practical. I believe therapy should feel collaborative and safe; a space where your story is honored and your strengths are seen. Together, we’ll explore what’s been keeping you stuck and build tools to help you feel more capable and balanced in daily life. I take a whole-person approach that integrates mindfulness, self-compassion, and trauma-informed practices to support lasting change and emotional relief.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a chance for us to slow down and get to know your story, what’s been feeling heavy, and what you hope for. We’ll spend time understanding what’s been working, what hasn’t, and what you’d like life to feel like moving forward. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling heard, understood, and a little more hopeful that things can change.
