"Empowering Healing, Embracing Diversity: Together, We Thrive"
Meet Ashley
Hi, I'm Ashley Pittman, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois. Whether you're navigating life's ups and downs, seeking clarity in a time of transition, or just looking for a space to reflect and grow, I'm here to walk alongside you. Life can present moments of joy, challenges, and everything in between, and sometimes we all need a bit of extra support. My aim is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, valued, and empowered to explore your journey at your own pace. Together, we'll work toward uncovering your strengths and finding the balance that feels right for you.
"Empowering Healing, Embracing Diversity: Together, We Thrive"
My Approach
My approach to therapy is grounded in creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and valued, especially if you've ever felt marginalized or overlooked by traditional mental health care. As a culturally informed therapist, I understand the importance of honoring your unique experiences and background. My goal is to help you reconnect with your authentic self and unlock the strengths that already exist within you. In our sessions, we’ll create a safe space to explore your thoughts and emotions without shame or judgment, using techniques like mindfulness and breathwork to process trauma and nurture healing.
Therapy with me is a real, collaborative process. I’m not just here to listen passively—I’m here to walk with you as we work together to find solutions. We’ll combine compassion, strength-based techniques, and practical tools like cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused methods to help you break through barriers and tackle challenges. We’ll also dismantle the notion that self-care is selfish and instead focus on discovering your power, building confidence, and setting boundaries that protect your peace.
As we challenge unhelpful thought patterns, hold ourselves accountable, and embrace positive change, you’ll find the tools to advocate for yourself and thrive. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone—together, we’ll create a personalized roadmap for healing, growth, and the life you truly deserve.
