Ashley Baum (she/her)

I began my career working with individuals who have special needs and their families. I conducted research with professors at the University of Arizona and worked to integrate severely disabled individuals into the workforce. The experience was a true honor to be a part of and shaped the therapist I am today. During my undergraduate degree I was exposed to military personal suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I became fascinated with the disorder and how the diagnosis does not only affect the individual but everyone around them. My fascination with PTSD, Acute Stress Disorder (ASD), Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) and Secondary Trauma lead me to the Middle East.

Throughout my career I have heard this one statement repeatedly “I know I am too broken”. I have worked with thousands of individuals and have never met a person who is too broken. My belief is simple; one is never to broken to recognize the strength they have within. I have been fortunate to continuously witness clients go from a place of darkness without hope and transform their lives through extensive inner work. We all have good and bad qualities, but as human beings we tend to focus on the negative. Through working together, you will rediscover the qualities that make you, you, and learn to appreciate yourself again. It is difficult to ask for help and even harder to tell a stranger your pain and fears, but I would consider myself privileged to go on this journey with you. With my help you are no longer alone. I’m here to make therapy “painless”, easy to understand and effective for you to master your goals.
