Ashley Karubian

Ashley Karubian

Therapist

In-person • 11 mi away • Santa Monica, CA


Growing up in California, Colorado and Tennessee concocted a Midwestern warmth with an open-mindedness and appreciation of our differences. These experiences gave me a curiosity for how humans develop in their environments and with their unique histories, leading me to pursue psychology.

I studied Political Science at Vanderbilt University before a seven year tenure in the corporate world. I am grateful for this experience as it has added depth and perspective to my work with clients. In 2014 I began my counseling psychology degree at The Wright Institute in Berkeley and then completed my training in San Francisco. My training journey encompassed internships at community mental health clinics, elementary and high schools, group therapy practices, and social service sites where I received intensive supervision in a variety of modalities. I regularly attend trainings and consult with colleagues to hone my craft and provide the best possible care.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Downey, CA

Searching for therapists in Downey starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to address. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or a major life change. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also help you understand how they work, what sessions may focus on, and whether their style feels like a good fit.

In a smaller city like Downey, nearby in-person appointments may be more limited than in larger parts of Los Angeles County. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you choose a therapist licensed in California. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and practical details like session format.

Therapy in Downey can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated costs after your benefits are verified, and book directly when you’re ready.
