Ashley Mitchell, MA, LPCC, LCPC
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
““You deserve to be cared for with the same intention you bring to caring for everyone else.”
I believe that caring for yourself isn’t selfish; it’s an important part of being able to show up for yourself and the people you love.”
Ashley (She/Her/Hers) is passionate about helping women who spend so much of their time caring for others that they lose touch with their own needs. Whether you're a mom, teacher, caregiver, or helping professional, you may be used to being the person everyone relies on. But when you're constantly taking care of others, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or disconnected from yourself.
You may look like you have everything together on the outside while feeling like you're running on empty inside. You deserve support, too.
Ashley specializes in working with women navigating anxiety, chronic stress, caregiver overwhelm, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She also has specialized training in perinatal mental health and enjoys supporting women through the emotional changes and challenges that can accompany pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood.
Her goal is to help you better understand yourself, develop practical tools for managing life's challenges, and reconnect with what you need to feel more grounded, confident, and like yourself again.
Ashley provides individual therapy for adults ages 18+.

I believe mental health is about more than just our thoughts. Our emotions, bodies, daily habits, relationships, and experiences all influence how we feel and function. My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and individualized to your needs and goals.
Together, we can explore the patterns contributing to anxiety and stress, build effective coping strategies, and identify meaningful changes that support your well-being. I incorporate evidence-informed approaches, including mindfulness, somatic techniques, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). As a master-trained ART therapist, I can integrate this approach when appropriate to help clients work through distressing experiences and related emotional difficulties.
I also believe in paying attention to the foundations of mental health, including sleep, nourishment, movement, and stress management. These areas can play an important role in our emotional well-being, and we can explore realistic ways to support them as part of your therapeutic work.
Therapy isn't about adding more expectations to your already-full plate. It's about finding what works for you, learning to listen to yourself, and building a life in which your own needs and well-being have a place, too.

Why did you become a therapist? I became a therapist because of my interest in personal growth. I'm passionate about helping women recognize that they matter, too. You don't have to wait until everything else is taken care of to begin caring for yourself.
What are your interests outside of work? Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and friends, getting outdoors, hiking, camping, skiing, and trail running. I enjoy challenging myself physically and discovering what I'm capable of, and I believe movement can be a meaningful way to reconnect with ourselves and build confidence.
What do you do daily that supports your mental and emotional well-being? In my own life, I value practices that help me feel grounded and energized, including movement, nourishing food, sleep, meditation, and journaling. I know firsthand how easy it can be to put your own needs aside when life gets busy, and I believe that making space for ourselves is an ongoing practice.
