My name is Ashley and I Help Women Cultivate Self-Love, Work-Life Balance, and Boundaries in the State of Arkansas.

🌱I have a passion for helping people mend “seemingly” broken foundations. I think it’s important for people to understand that while life experiences play a big role in the composition of who we are and how we view the world there is still opportunity to create anew that is specifically tailored to what and who you want to be.

🌱I’m a therapist that will give you homework nine times out ten after just about every session because I truly believe that while the work that happens on the therapy couch (or screen) is very important the vast majority of progress lies in the application in the real world.

🌱Mental Health Wellness is important to me so creating this space (not to be substituted for therapy services) allows me to provide education, reduce stigma, and be authentic in who I am sharing the things that I’ve learned with the goal of letting someone out there know they are not alone.

🌱Common things you might hear me say in session: “Okay Hair”
“It’s the Insight for Me”
“You Deserve All Good Things”
“I love that for you”
“Periodt”
“How does that make you feel”-Old Faithful 😂

Hey Y’all,
My name is Ashley and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in the state of Arkansas. I enjoy working with millennial women and college students helping to manage depression, anxiety, and stress associated with with life transitions. I believe that no one is broken, but life often sometimes leaves us feeling that way. That’s where I am grateful to step in to help MEND the foundation.

Some fun facts about me:
🌱I love plants (I killed about 4 in the beginning, but I’m smooth sailing now) I name all of them and they’ve come to symbolize the process of healing for me.
🌱I can binge watch Scandal and Being Mary Jane for the rest of my life.
🌱I’m the millennial that has to learn how to work technology from the Gen-Zs’
🌱I love to read self-help and romance novels.
🌱I’m often referred to as boughetto-so pray with me don’t play with me 😂
🌱I can’t sing or dance but in my mind I think I do both very well, cause who gone tell me I can’t 👀
🌱I’m a lover of all firsts’
🌱Bali is on my bucket list because Julia Roberts in Eat Love Pray made me want to do it lol

If you’ve made it this far, thanks for liking, sharing, and following my page 🤎

As millennials we are a generation that was taught survival, but we are learning the power of support and healing to live 🌱

Just a reminder!

#takeupspace #therapy by @themendingcircle

The goal is to know that whatever happens, you trust yourself to listen, choose, adjust, and take care of you!

Save this for the days you need a reminder! by @themendingcircle

As your therapist, I’ll often ask this question!

Here’s why:

-Slow Down: It helps you pause instead of immediately reacting.
-Get Out of Your Head: You need to allow yourself to feel instead of going down a path of overthinking.
-Name What’s Happening: Tight chest? Heavy shoulders? That’s information.
-Connect the Dots: Over time you may notice patterns between situations, emotions, and your body.

At this point it’s a magic trick 🪄 by @themendingcircle

Many people wait until they are completely overwhelmed before considering support in the workplace. If your mental health symptoms are impacting your daily functioning, concentration, attendance, emotional regulation, sleep, or ability to perform your job duties, it may be important to have a conversation with your mental health provider and/or physician about available options and supports including FMLA or workplace accommodations.

This Mental Health Awareness Month I’d like to highlight one of the most important parts of the therapy process… The Therapeutic Rapport!

Safety, trust, and connection create the foundation where healing can take root 🌱 by @themendingcircle

A lot of us weren’t taught how to do conflict…just how to avoid it or survive it.

So we either:
shut down
overreact
say things we don’t mean

But healthy conflict? It’s a skill. And it can be learned.

Which slide hit you the most?
