Ashley Weiman
Hello, I'm Ashley Weiman, and I specialize in creating a supportive and collaborative therapeutic environment where you take the lead in your journey towards healing. With a foundation in client-centered therapy, I prioritize your unique needs and perspectives. My approach combines elements of psychodynamic theory with evidence-based practices such as CBT and ACT, allowing for a tailored treatment plan that suits your individual preferences and goals. As a skilled listener with an open-minded outlook, I strive to meet you where you are, understanding your experiences and worldview. My experience spans working with children, adolescents, adults, and families, addressing a variety of challenges including ASD, anxiety, depression, and behavioral issues. Having practiced psychotherapy for several years, I aim to cultivate a professional yet welcoming atmosphere where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts and emotions. Together, we can navigate towards a path of greater understanding, resilience, and well-being.
Recently, I had a breakthrough with a young client who struggled with communication and anxiety. By really diving into his interests and perspective, we built a strong connection. As he began to feel understood and valued, he opened up more. I noticed a positive change in his energy and attitude. This breakthrough showed me the power of building a trusting relationship and creating a safe space where he felt heard and accepted.
In a counseling session with me, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where they can feel comfortable and at ease. We'll work collaboratively to explore thoughts, feelings, and goals. You'll experience active listening and genuine empathy, ensuring that you feel heard and understood. I'll tailor interventions and techniques from various therapeutic modalities to suit your needs. Expect a non-judgmental and supportive atmosphere, where you can express yourself freely without fear of criticism. I'll provide practical strategies and tools to help you navigate challenges and foster personal growth. Throughout our sessions, you'll receive reflection and feedback to gain insights and make progress.
In your first session with me, we'll start by getting to know each other. I'll create a welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. We'll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and what you hope to achieve. I'll listen carefully to your concerns and goals, asking questions to better understand your unique situation. We'll explore any previous therapy experiences you've had and what has worked well for you in the past. I'll explain my approach to therapy and answer any questions you may have about the process.
What motivates me as a therapist is a genuine belief in the power of therapy to make a difference in people's lives. I'm inspired by the resilience of my clients and the opportunity to support them through their challenges. Building connections with them and witnessing their growth is incredibly rewarding. Knowing that I can be a part of their journey towards healing and positive change is what drives me every day.
