Biography
Ashley Pederson is a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) who has experience working with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal relationship concerns, stress management, life transitions, and self-esteem. She is passionate about helping clients better understand themselves, develop practical coping skills, and work through difficult experiences in a way that feels meaningful and manageable in order to create positive changes that support a more fulfilling life.
Ashley utilizes evidence-based approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while tailoring treatment to each client’s individual needs and goals.
Ashley recognizes that beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, and she believes that feeling valued, heard, and understood is an important part of the therapeutic process. She views the relationship between client and therapist as a foundation for meaningful and lasting change. Her goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative space where clients feel comfortable exploring their emotions, experiences, and patterns at their own pace.
She would be honored to support you on your journey.
