Ask Porter is a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience in clinical social work and therapy. She creates a non-judgmental and empowering space where clients can bring their whole selves, facilitating profound healing. The cornerstone of her practice lies in establishing strong and trusting therapeutic relationships with individuals, couples, and families throughout various stages of life. Ask seamlessly integrates Person-Centered, Psychodynamic, and Cognitive-Behavioral therapy modalities to effectively address symptoms—whether in a short-term or long-term context—tailoring her approach to meet clients' unique needs and goals. Whether clients are seeking growth and transformation or facing persistent challenges related to chronic psychological, social, or physical issues, engaging in psychotherapy with Ask may serve as an essential first step toward achieving purpose, resilience, and an enhanced quality of life. She collaborates with clients to uncover areas for growth, support change, manage symptoms, and leverage their strengths. Several factors might indicate the need for treatment, including a history of trauma—such as sexual, physical, emotional trauma, experiences of abandonment, bullying, domestic violence, and financial abuse—racial identity considerations, and medical complications from terminal illnesses or chronic pain.
