Heal with ashley
Asking for help is hard; and I'm so glad you are here. It can feel scary to reach out to a therapist for the first time. And very scary if you worry about how you feel, wonder if therapy is right for you, or worried about what’s next.
Let me walk you through the process.

FAQs
-
For the first session, we will meet by video for 60 minutes. In this session, we will get to know each other and discuss your goals for therapy. We will decide how often and how long to meet for sessions.
You can bring your stuff to talk about, and I can bring some education and skills to help you towards your goals.
-
There is no set answer; therapy takes as long as it takes. We will use the goals set in the first session as measurement for progress. Usually, I see improvement in 3-6 months, but we can decide together based on your progress. We can always add new goals as you learn more about yourself.
-
My role is to establish a nonjudgmental, safe space in which you can share your thoughts and feelings. I will bring education and skills to the session to support progress towards your goals. I may ask questions to guide you through exploration of your thoughts and beliefs. I may provide an alternative perspective.
