Ashley Zimmer-Larsen, LPC-MH Supervisee, ATR, NCC, CCTP
Relationships are the cornerstone of healing. Starting therapy can feel daunting, and I am here to meet you with genuine warmth and respect throughout our therapeutic relationship.
I am committed to upholding the highest ethical standards, ensuring you have a comfortable and confidential environment to explore your authentic self. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from various modalities including person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, relational, somatic, and existential therapies. I work collaboratively with you to foster empowerment, build self-esteem, and cultivate a more positive self-image. For the past several years, I have dedicated my practice to supporting survivors of sexual and domestic violence and abuse. I hold specialized training in trauma-informed approaches, including art therapy, play therapy, sandtray therapy, and trauma-sensitive yoga. These modalities offer gentle and effective ways to address the complex impact of trauma on the mind and body.
I enjoy working with individuals across the lifespan, from children as young as three to adolescents and adults. If you are ready to begin a journey of healing and self-discovery, I invite you to schedule an appointment. Together, we can explore how therapy can support your well-being and help you live a more fulfilling life.
