Ashley Gaede, LPC, brings over 15 years of experience as a foster and adoptive parent, deeply understanding the complex impacts of trauma, attachment issues, anxiety, learning disorders, Autism, ADHD, and mood disorders on children's daily functioning and overall happiness. She recognizes the crucial need for a sense of safety and belonging in fostering optimal growth and development. Ashley knows that while connections and relationships are essential, negative life experiences and emotional dysregulation can create barriers to building the healthy relationships crucial for well-being. Specializing in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), EMDR-Sand Tray, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Ashley is also board certified in Neurofeedback—a non-invasive and scientifically supported approach to alleviating symptoms associated with ADHD, Autism, anxiety, PTSD, and mood disorders. Through her compassionate and effective therapeutic modalities, she empowers children and teens to develop coping skills, better manage their emotions, and address the experiences and thoughts that hinder their daily lives, ultimately guiding them towards improved functioning and enhanced enjoyment of life.
