Therapists in New Waverly, TX

Hi, my name is Dr. Ashley Ward, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment so you can rediscover your strengths. I am EMDR-trained and CBT certified.

Mental health therapy is a intimate collaboration in self-discovery, relationship preservation, mental health maintenance, and relief of suffering. It is my job to center you and meet you in your challenges (stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, self criticalness, etc.). I provide support to individuals, partners, and families who are motivated towards greater understandings of their experiences in order to find peace and/or heal connections in their relationship with themselves and others.

Our group practice centralizes care for People of Color, Queer, Transgender, Nonbinary, Neurodivergent, and Disabled communities. We are BIPOC & QT2S+ led. As integrative, holistic healers, we help you work through life adjustments, anxiety, depression, and trauma. If you are entering a process of self-exploration and want to own your place and identity in this world with skilled providers who mirror you, welcome home. Together, we'll discover the parts of you that need to be witnessed, healed, released, and cleared so you can reclaim and empower the parts that have been neglected, forgotten, or ignored.

I began a career as a therapist after working with children and their families in education, seeing first hand how the effects of mental health can negatively affect a family unit. I specialize in trauma informed care to both adolescents and adults to lower the symptoms and behaviors that cause a negative impact.

Are you experiencing a disconnect from your authentic self because of societal expectations and family beliefs?

I offer a compassionate and action-oriented approach to therapy. Clients are empowered with insights and practical tools for genuine transformation. I am also a corporate speaker on mental health topics to Fortune 500 companies through Modern Health.
