Ashley Boerger, LPC-MHSP
Professional Counselor
615-854-7035
The world we live in is full of opportunities to disconnect, avoid emotions, and escape reality. I believe that healing is often found through connection to people around us, connection to nature, and the ability to sit with both comfortable and uncomfortable emotions. In therapy, I work to create an authentic, non-judgmental, welcoming, and trustworthy environment through which healing and growth may occur. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is crucial to the success of counseling, and place great importance on it.
Through mindfulness, thought and behavior modification, art, play, and more, I work with my clients to help them create growth. I am trained in Animal Assisted Psychotherapy, and work to facilitate experiences that help connect clients back to nature, including work with my therapy rabbit, Piper as well as equine assisted psychotherapy.
My passion is learning about people’s stories, and joining them for part of their journey through life. I work with clients ages 4-50+, with modalities tailored to clients' specific needs. Finding the right therapist can be difficult, but I would truly love to get to know you. If you feel we may be a good fit, I encourage you to reach out to me.
