Ashley Barrett, LMFT

She aims to listen, name what matters, and help people take clear steps forward when life feels overwhelming. Ashley focuses on common but heavy concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and addictive behaviors.

She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy questions, parenting stress, career shifts, and the fallout from trauma or attachment wounds. Her work includes attention to hormonal health concerns such as peripartum mood changes, PMDD, and related anxiety.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Ashley uses evidence-based techniques to help people identify unhelpful patterns, challenge harsh self-talk, and build coping strategies that fit daily life.

She aims to help clients feel more self-compassionate and more able to manage tough feelings. She pays attention to how family of origin, communication patterns, and life transitions affect current struggles.

When appropriate and requested, Ashley may involve partners or other supporters to improve understanding and coordination of care. She takes a holistic view that connects emotions, relationships, and practical routines.

Ashley works with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, chronic illness, body image, postpartum depression, sexual and polyamorous relationship questions, and career meaning. Her style is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative, focused on helping people rewrite unkind stories they tell themselves and find more balance.
