Ashley Petty

Ashley Petty is an empathetic therapist dedicated to guiding individuals through their emotional journey. She believes that emotions serve as signals from the mind and body about one’s life experiences, which can often feel uncomfortable and overwhelming. Through her compassionate approach, Ashley encourages clients to embrace vulnerability and seek help in understanding their feelings. Specializing in trauma and PTSD, anxiety, and self-esteem, she has worked with clients facing challenges like depression, grief, family conflict, and more. Though she has experience with children as young as three, her focus currently extends to teenagers and adults.

With a background in trauma-informed psychotherapy, Ashley emphasizes the importance of the mind-body connection, delving into the insights that feelings and behaviors provide. Her training incorporates somatic and trauma-focused methods, including EMDR and neurobiology-informed play therapy, all rooted in an interpersonal and humanistic framework.

Her mission is to provide a judgment-free space where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered in their healing process. Through her warm and accepting approach, Ashley works diligently to create an environment in which clients are free to explore their thoughts and feelings, enabling them to gain a deeper understanding of their experiences and pursue their healing goals.
