Ashley Klein(She/Her/Hers)

Ashley Klein is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, and National Certified Counselor in Texas offering individual and couples therapy services. Ashley is passionate about providing trauma-informed, culturally competent mental health care to clients of all identities. She specializes in treating addiction, trauma, PTSD/cPTSD, and dissociative disorders. Often, Ashley’s clients have tried therapy before but they haven’t reached their mental health goals and would like to continue to work with a therapist. They feel stuck in their symptoms, which hold them back from enjoying comfort in their daily lives. These symptoms could include panic attacks, dissociative episodes, feeling disconnected from others, or waves of sadness, all of which can lead to unhealthy self-medication.

Combined with in-depth personal experience, Ashley practices an evidence-based therapy modality called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This therapy modality helps the brain process through painful memories and place those memories in the past. This opens up the client’s mind to feeling more in the present moment. EMDR can be used successfully with a variety of issues and concerns. Ashley also practices Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help clients grow their coping skills. This could include deep breathing, distractions, and perspective-taking in moments of distress. Clients learn how to be more mindful in their minds and bodies. This mindfulness can be a helpful grounder and keep them from reliving difficult memories or dwelling on their symptoms.

Ashley earned her Master’s degree in Professional Mental Health Counseling from the accredited program at Grand Canyon University. She strives to be an empathetic, kind therapist who makes every client feel welcome and respected. She wants her clients to feel present and engaged in their lives once more. Ashley believes our minds and bodies are capable of healing and growth with the right environment, tools and support.
