Ashton Smith

Life throws us unexpected curves, hurdles, and struggles. In fact, life can be down right hard. How would life be different if you had an advocate on your side to empathetically and non-judgmentally walk alongside you in your journey to experience healing, growth, and a fulfilling life As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I provide counseling to individuals of all ages and families to address various issues such as trauma, anxiety, anger management, abuse, depression, life changes, grief, attention-deficit disorders, and adjustment disorders.

I use an eclectic approach with my clients. I understand that each of my clients and their needs are different, so I adjust my approach to best suit their personality and preference. Generally, I use cognitive-behavioral therapy with a focus on examining our negative thinking patterns impacting our current view of life. I often couple cognitive behavioral therapy with self-compassion techniques, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness.

Taking the first step towards healing is hard. Taking the first steps to reach out to a stranger is even more challenging. But know that you are worth it. You are worth experience hope and healing to live a fulfilling life. By reaching out to me, I commit to walk alongside you and provide a safe and accepting environment to help you discover fulfillment.
