Family therapy and counseling in Cincinnati, OH

Hello, my name is Ashley Powell. I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker, supervisor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I entered the field in 2011 and consider it an honor to assist my clients in their journey towards emotional healing.

Welcome. I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with a Master of Social Work and a degree in psychology from The Ohio State University. With over five years of experience in mental and behavioral health—including four years of providing therapy—I offer a safe, inclusive space for healing and growth. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal ideation, or identity-related challenges, I’m here to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered in your journey.

I value being sincere and genuine and getting to know your story.

Life is complicate. Change is hard. Wellness is worth it.

I am here to walk this path with you.

I help you explore the possibilities of change in an open minded, compassionate, supportive and unconditionally accepting environment. Change can be scary and difficult. Throughout the therapeutic process, you will have an opportunity to access inner strengths, explore past experiences, confront fears, gain insight with a sense of mindfulness and curiosity. No matter where you are in your journey, whether it is to optimize emotional and/or physical wellbeing or maintain it, integrative therapy can help.

I am a Mental Health professional and a Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine provider who is trained in a number of modalities and draw from Family Systems, Gottman Method, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and Nutritional Psychiatry. I has over 12 years of experience helping clients improve emotional wellness and mental health concerns through psychotherapy, coaching, latest science in real food nutrition and other alternative strategies.

I approach mental health and well-being in an action-oriented way and from a holistic, whole-body perspective, with an underlying view that mind, body and spirit are interconnected. I work with individuals, couples, and families struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, life transitions, work-life balance, and finding inner peace.

I am committed to a lifestyle that she teaches her clients which incorporates mindfulness, emotional health, whole food eating, and fulfilling activities. I am excited to help you build confidence in creating a nourishing lifestyle that considers mind/body balance, self-care, hopefulness and excitement.

I am Lisa Kirby, a therapist with over 14 years of experience working in a variety of clinical settings. I am dually licensed as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervisor Designation (LPCC-S) and an Independent Marriage and Family Therapist (IMFT) in Ohio. I enjoy working with children, teens, and adults, and I specialize in relational work with couples and families.

Areas of Focus

In our work together, we will focus on key areas designed to promote lasting well-being:

• Building Coping Skills: Developing practical strategies that work in your daily life to manage stress and challenges.
• Understanding Patterns and Emotions: Gaining deeper insight into your emotional landscape and behavioral patterns.
• Strengthening Communication and Relationships: Improving how you connect with others and navigate your relationships.
• Creating Realistic, Sustainable Change: Establishing achievable goals that lead to long-term, positive shifts in your life.

When we live in spaces of meeting other people’s expectations, how can we ever discover who we authentically are? My role as a therapist is to create a space where you are able to be authentically yourself. We are not simple and isolated beings. We are influenced and impacted by various different relationships and experiences throughout our lives. There is no road map on how to be. So, let’s create it together.

I am a trauma informed Independent Couple and Family Therapist, which allows me to hold space and acknowledge the multitude of different factors that influence a person or couple. I received my Master's from Appalachian State University in Marriage and Family Therapy with a certificate of Multicultural Counseling.

As a queer, neurodiverse, 2nd generation Martinican American, I understand the importance of providing culturally responsive and affirming care. I believe that therapy deserves a person - centered approach putting emphasis on the need for collaboration and consent throughout the whole experience. Transparency and honesty are priorities for me as a therapist to ensure there is an ability to create trust and understanding from the start of services.

Being neurodiverse, it is important for my clients to understand that I work with your brain rather than against it. Allowing for multiple possibilities and ways to navigate difficult experiences to ensure that what is being explored is supportive, inclusive and accessible to all of my clients without the experience of shame and challenges internalized ableism.

Clients that are most successful are willing to be challenged, self-reflect, being willing to try something new and learn to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. I feel privileged to be able to be part of your journey.
