My name is Ashley Carson, LMFT. I hold a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from California Lutheran University. The care I provide is unique to each individual and delivered in a collaborative and supportive environment, at a pace that protects your well-being. My goal is to create a safe and authentic space where you can explore areas of your life that feel unsatisfying while receiving containment and management of mental health difficulties. My approach I encourage and foster the ability to ground yourself in the present, increase self-nurturance, self-compassion, resilience, and agency in your life. My work combines therapeutic modalities and evidence-based interventions built on a foundation of values, mindfulness, compassion, and unconditional positive regard. My focus I offer individualized care for individuals, couples, and families experiencing mental health challenges. I specialize in treating eating disorders, trauma, C-PTSD, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and co-occurring diagnoses. My communication style My goal is to stand with you in finding freedom and comfort through the ebbs and flows life tends to bring. I encourage authentic expression, empowerment, and agency over your life. Together, we can explore your needs and desires in a compassionate, authentic, and non-judgmental safe space.

My goals for you My approach is always collaborative, with the client as the expert of their life and needs. My first session with you We will get to know each other better and work together to set goals and expectations for therapy.
