Ashley Prescott, a compassionate counselor at Aspen Ridge Counseling, understands the overwhelming feelings that can come with personal struggles. Many individuals grapple with thoughts like, 'I don’t know how to stop hurting,' or 'I don’t know how to help him.' These sentiments are familiar to countless people, especially when they impact one’s quality of life. Ashley believes in the profound words of Anais Nin: 'And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.' This illustrates the challenge and discomfort associated with change, as well as the importance of embracing vulnerability in the therapeutic journey. Specializing in the management of chronic illness and pain, trauma (both adult and childhood), as well as depression and anxiety, Ashley is dedicated to collaborating with her clients. Together, they define clear goals and take meaningful steps toward achieving them, fostering a brighter path forward in life.
