Counselor Extraordinaire

 

Ashley Hawks, LSW

Welcome to my healing space.

I am an empathetic therapist dedicated to guiding positive transformations and I am committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for exploring thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. 

I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques including but not limited to Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Crisis Intervention, Play Therapy and School Based Intervention. I am thrilled to announce the incorporation of Neurofeedback Therapy into my practice. Whether you're seeking traditional methods or exploring innovative techniques like Neurofeedback, my goal is to create a supportive and collaborative space where you can achieve your therapeutic goals.

My career started in a behavioral hospital, addressing diverse mental health concerns including anxiety, depression and mood disorders. Transitioning into a school setting, I created a safe space for students navigating the challenges of growing up. I continued to grow my experience through my work with anxiety, autism, behavior concerns, crisis situations, and depression. Children and teenagers are in a phase of life where they are forming their identities, navigating challenges, and discovering their unique strengths. The impact of positive intervention during these formative years can extend well into adulthood, and being a part of that influence is truly gratifying.

Outside of work, I enjoy moments with my husband and our two dogs, Bella and Duncan. I find joy in cooking, taking walks, and learning how to golf. 

The therapeutic journey is a collaborative one, and I look forward to the opportunity to work together toward your goals. Whether you're seeking support in overcoming challenges, enhancing your well-being, or navigating life transitions, I am here to guide and support you on your path to positive transformation.
