Through evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Ashley motivates her clients to take effective action steps toward healing, rather than remaining stuck in unproductive patterns.
