ABOUT
Ashley Beenken, LMHC
I believe therapy is a tool that can help you to overcome challenges and heal from past experiences that may be holding you back from the life you desire. Therapy is a space where you can learn to face your fears and explore your personal values in order to experience a life of freedom, connection, and purpose.
Life can be painful and the suffering that you are experiencing may feel unbearable at times. I want you to know that you are not alone and even the deepest suffering can be transformed into something beautiful and meaningful. My hope is that as part of your therapeutic journey, you will be able to navigate life's most difficult moments with courage and hope.
