Ashton Murray is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Ashton received a B.S. in Human Development & Family Studies from Texas Tech University and M.Ed. in Counseling and Development from Lamar University. Ashton has worked with teens, young adults, individuals, and couples in a variety of settings, assisting with life challenges as a result of chronic stress and traumatic experiences.
Ashton primarily uses EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy to treat a variety of symptoms and disorders. EMDR is an effective, evidence-based treatment which helps the individual release the stored feelings, thoughts, sensations, and somatic processes associated with stressful and traumatic incidents. In addition to EMDR, Ashton employs elements of Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Somatic techniques, Trauma-Informed Yoga, and Gottman principles to address internal and external conflict and communication.
Ashton works to provide clients with a safe, judgment free space to explore difficult, distressing, and disturbing content. Ashton also provides opportunities to highlight strengths, resources, and resiliency to leave sessions feeling confident and restored.
