Therapists for Teens in Mason, TX

My approach is strengths-based with a focus on helping clients recognize and develop their positive values, abilities and qualities. I am a child, adolescent, adult and family psychologist who provides individual/family therapy and parent coaching. I have over 13 years fo experience working with a variety of issues such as anxiety (including selective mutism), depression, anger, noncompliance, defiance, impulsive behavior, trauma, parenting, and family relationships.

I understand that assessment and therapy are very personal and vulnerable processes and I believe you will find me to be straightforward, knowledgeable, and warm. I strive to work collaboratively with adolescent and adult clients and their families to help them develop insight into their difficulties and determine how to make meaningful and lasting changes. Issues that often bring clients to my office include seeking answers or assistance through a psychological assessment, addressing addictive behaviors, the effects of trauma, or navigating a life transition.

I work with children, teens and young adults who struggle with anxiety, OCD, life transitions, identity, and LGBTQ+ issues. Clients often begin therapy with me in search of relief from OCD/anxiety, support managing the transition into college or adulthood, self-acceptance, a space to explore their identity, ways to create more meaningful relationships with others, or parenting support. I also work with parents to provide insight and teach skills that allow them to confidently support and respond to their child/teen struggling with OCD/anxiety. I am certified in and offer PCIT for children 7 and younger with behavioral challenges.

Your life is not looking the way you imagined. Your mind is giving you all sorts of negative messages and you are feeling down, depressed, overwhelmed, or anxious. Whether you are 16, 30, or 60, you deserve to enjoy your life every day. I work with mood disorders, anxiety and stress, trauma, adolescent issues, self-esteem challenges, grief and loss, and life transitions. I am a board approved supervisor for Social Workers in the state of Texas.

Is your teen using social media as an outlet to escape reality? I am here to help. I love working with motivated, painfully self-aware people that are struggling to enjoy the present moment because they are stuck in the past. Let me walk the journey of healing with you

Ashley is a Licensed Professional Counselor. As a native Tennesean, she earned both her Bachelor’s of Psychology and Master’s of Community Counseling from the University of Tennessee. Her professor once said, “Play is a child’s most natural language.” That phrase, along with her love of the children, solidified Ashley’s career path. A job opportunity called her to Texas where she fell in love with breakfast tacos, blue bonnets and wide open spaces. She worked at an inpatient psychiatric hospital that exposed her to a variety of clinical diagnoses in the child and adolescent population.

Yet taking that one step is often the very best thing you can do for yourself and those you love.

I help children whose challenging behaviors interfere with their everyday life. When your child is struggling with meltdowns, aggression, or defiance, it often affects their ability to thrive in school or in friendships, and negatively impacts family relationships.

I teach caregivers therapeutic parenting skills proven to improve your child's cooperation and self-regulation.
