About My Clients
Many individuals whom I have had the privilege to walk with on their healing journey were facing things like depression, anxiety, life transitions, chronic pain, parenting & trauma. I am trained in EMDR, TRE & use these with clients as part of a wholistic approach. My intent is to provide a safe & non-threatening space to explore and release difficult histories. My approach to therapy is a somatic based one. Meaning I view the mind and body as connected and we work with both in sessions.
My Background and Approach
I specialize in working with individuals who are looking to do deep inner work & who have been to traditional therapy before, but have come to an impasse. I help my clients to connect to their bodies and listen to what it is trying to call their attention to, as well to help clients release histories, feelings and energies stored in the body which might be causing us both psychological and physical pain. Throughout my years of working with clients, I have developed skill & intuition which I bring to each unique session. I have sincere respect for anyone who makes the decision to heal themselves. It takes bravery to be here, to be willing to look inward. My hope and intention for my clients is to increase their understanding of who they are and what they want out of this life. To help them find the confidence to prioritize themselves and make decisions that reflect their goals and desires. Facebook, (Discovering Peace Within) & Instagram, (ashleypickardlmft)
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in the innate ability for all humans to heal and evolve ourselves over our lives. I also believe in the innate goodness of everyone and that many of the decisions we regret making, we made with the resources we had available at the time. Anyone embarking on a journey of self discovery and healing is extremely brave. I personally follow practices I teach my clients not only for myself, but as a way for me to remain authentic and connected to the work we do in session. TRE, meditation and grounding exercises are foundations in which I build both my personal life and my practice.
