ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Plainfield, IL

You’re capable and use to managing a lot, but lately life feels overwhelming.

I’m Ashley Walay, LICSW, and I work with BIPOC women and LGBTQ+ individuals, professionals, single parents, and military-connected individuals (including spouses, veterans, contractors, and civilian employees) experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, chronic stress, and life transitions.

I value clear, direct communication and tailor therapy to your needs, whether you want tools or space to process. Together, we’ll work toward greater clarity, balance, and confidence.

Life can be difficult, but remember you have the power to change it. Your journey is not dictated by your circumstances but rather by how you interpret them and react to them. Over the years, I have helped may people change the direction of their lives. A little insight into your true feelings and emotions can help shift things for you in a major way. I have assisted with general stress from day-to-day life, anxiety, trauma, adhd , marital problems and achieving a work life balance.

We are all travelers in this lifetime. Everyone is traveling to the same destination, but all benefit from a guide/professional support. I pass no judgment, I only meet people where they are at and where they wish to be. Let's get you to where you wish to be. I do encourage holistic and alternative methods to get to your goals, but am not against traditional approaches and in fact combining clinical with alternative have proven to have the best outcomes. Be prepared to put in the work. There will be homework, and it will be challenging. It could in fact be the most difficult thing that you do, but it is in your best interest.

My therapy room is a space where you don’t have to explain yourself. You can show up, fully and authentically, without the need to code-switch or justify your experiences. Our sessions are a dedicated time for you to be heard and understood without judgment.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Chicago, Illinois, specializing in helping high-achieving professionals and women navigate anxiety, burnout, trauma, and major life transitions. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out despite your success, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate it on your own.

With a Doctorate in Organizational Psychology, I bring a unique lens to therapy that integrates both personal and professional well-being. With leadership experience across corporate and nonprofit settings, I understand the pressures of high-demand environments and the impact they can have on mental health. I support clients facing career stress, leadership demands, and complex life transitions, including fertility journeys, pregnancy, and early parenting.

My approach is trauma-informed, holistic, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I work with individuals who are used to “holding it all together” but are ready for a space where they can slow down, process deeply, and reconnect with themselves in a meaningful way.

I am a compassionate psychiatric provider that is dedicated to my practice. I started my psychiatric career as a technician in forensic psychiatry. I worked with individuals who had comitted crimes and were either attempting to determine competency, or were found not guilty by reason of insanity. As my education blossomed, I began working as a nurse on a child and adolescent crisis stabilization unit. I found a massive love for child and adolescent psychiatry and spent most of my career working crisis stabilization and residential psychiatric care for children and adolescents. This gave me significant experience working with many different cultures. After I graduated with my doctorate, I began working psychiatric outpatient. I now see patients of all ages (children 4+, adolescents, adults and geriatric). I thrive on a strong therapeutic relationship and making sure my patients feel heard. I am open minded and non-bias. You are safe with me.

Clients often describe me as reliable, professional, and flexible in meeting their needs. My diverse experience allows me to connect with people from all walks of life. I pride myself on being a great listener with strong comprehension skills, offering a nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe to share and process.
