Hello! My name is Dr. Ashly Lawrence. I have been working with college students and young adults for almost twenty years. College is a time of self-exploration, transition, and identity development. It can also bring great stress, existential questions, and family of origin issues. I am here to support it all. I practice from a relational feminist lens and am best suited to support clients struggling with stress, anxiety, identity development, trauma, family of origin issues, relationship stress...
My approach to treatment pulls from a combination of humanistic, existential, cognitive, and mind-body integration perspectives. The specific treatment methods I use and the duration of psychotherapy will depend on your history, current circumstances, the issues we explore, and our mutually-established goals for therapy. I believe counseling is a collaborative effort, which is successful when an individual’s energy, courage, and commitment to look deep within matches with the therapy style and ...
*While I am not "in-network" with the Dartmouth Student Health Plan, I do bill that plan directly, and students only pay a $40 copay each session.

Okay. Here's the thing. Nobody really knows how therapy works, or why some people get better with one approach and some another. What we do know is that if you connect with your therapist, and if you really commit to digging in and doing the work, healing and change can happen, and things can get better. And I can help you with that. I'll listen to you. I'll pay close attention. I'll meet you where you're at, with empathy and compassion and even some humor. And I'll tell you the truth. I'm gues...

You long to exude confidence and clarity, presenting an image of having everything under control. Yet, beneath the surface, you grapple with feelings of overwhelm, doubt, and self-questioning. You find yourself yearning for something more, perhaps feeling weary of insecurity, fatigue, or disappointment in yourself or others. It's possible that you can't recall a time when things didn't feel this way. Nevertheless, one thing remains certain: you're seeking a reprieve. You're eager to experience c...
Finding a therapist can feel more overwhelming than continuing to bear the weight of stress and anxiety alone. Questions of identity, difficulty finding meaning, and navigating life’s transitions can often feel insurmountable on your own. Wondering if you’re going to show up to meet a therapist only to be judged, invalidated, or minimized can make you want to stop the search before you even start. My goal is to provide you with a warm and nonjudgmental space to explore and join with you in the h...
