About Ashley Oginz-Wilson
I am a Resident in Counseling who earned my Master of Arts and Educational Specialist in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from James Madison University. With 5 years of counseling experience, I have provided outpatient services in community mental health centers and university settings, as well as intensive in-home services.
FAQs
A significant breakthrough that I had with a client is when I helped them to understand that they are not alone or wrong in the way they felt. Clients at times can feel isolated or lonely in their feelings and experiences. In this instance, I was able to normalize this client's experience and affirm the associated feelings. This allowed the client to feel safe in the therapeutic relationship and continue sessions with new found motivation and vulnerability.
I hope to create a safe, inclusive, affirming, and culturally sensitive environment. Sessions with me are led by your identified needs and treatment goals. I work to facilitate change through active listening, empathy, collaboration, and therapeutic connection. We will move at the pace we agreed upon to establish comfort while still being challenged when clinically indicated.
A first session with me will be conversational in nature as we discuss what brings you to therapy and what makes you, you! This may involve sharing information about your past, present, and future. We will work together to create treatment goals and identify how we want to shape your counseling journey. The first session is also where you can decide if my approach to counseling aligns with what you are looking for.
It is an honor to be able to provide a safe space and be a part of some else's journey in such a meaningful way. I want to continue to enforce that asking for support, while difficult, can also be extremely rewarding.
