ASHLEY ROBINSON, MA, LCPC, NCC, CCO
I believe that healing is a collaborative endeavor that requires honest caring without shame or judgment. I provide a safe, caring and confidential environment for clients to explore their feelings, beliefs and clarify their goals. Something unique about my approach is that I use a strength-based approach, tailoring my approach to each client’s interest for engagement. I have a unique ability to help explore and discover your true identity, sexual expression, sexuality, and gender identity. I became a therapist to support the disruption of generational cycles that are not helpful while building confidence.
I strongly value destigmatizing mental health and providing effective services to underserved communities. My 10+ years of experience includes anxiety, trauma, ADD/ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, grief/loss, depression, postpartum, family relationships, parent support, addiction, OCD, self-esteem, anger management, and life transitions. I am also trained to provide EMDR treatment
