Getting to know Ashley Chookazian
Maybe you find yourself lying awake worrying about all the things you didn't get done or all the things that might go wrong. You fear that you won't be able to hold your head above water, and you are exhausted by unrealistic expectations. You are enough! Is that hard to believe? There may be times when you struggle with your inner critic, feel overwhelmed by life, or are just trying to get by in your relationships. As a result, you are likely feeling anxious, depressed, confused, or disconnected, and don't know whom to turn to.
With me, you will learn different coping strategies to help build on the gifts you already possess. As your personal cheerleader, I want to help guide you to the place where you are feeling joy in your life. This place is different for everyone, and I want to know and understand what outcomes you desire.
My approach focuses on helping people understand the root of the issues and patterns in their lives. In this process, you will learn how to move past your old belief systems while sustaining a healthier lifestyle.
I hold a Master's degree in Clinical and Medical Social Work from New York University, which informs my compassionate and evidence-based approach to supporting your mental and emotional well-being.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe in working with the whole person and meeting you exactly where you are. My specialties include working with young adults, life transitions, grief, and caregiver stress. While working with me your values, experiences, and all parts of your life are considered giving me the insight to help navigate you in the direction you want to go. Rest assured, you are in the driver’s seat while guiding you to listen to your own voice of self-worth and find your infinite potential. My background using somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, grounding work, and narrative therapy helps us align the mind and body into harmony.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Ashley has an extensive background helping with grief and caregiver burnout and can help you live a more rich and fulfilling life!
Grief and sorrow can be extremely tough emotions to feel. Have you experienced loss of a loved one, or a big change causing stress, anxiety, or depression? Unresolved or unaddressed grief and sadness can rob us of the ability to live life fully. Like the feeling of sunshine in the springtime, a good therapeutic bond can bring back delight and joyful anticipation for the future. I can help you find inner peace while you see the beauty that a renewed hope can bring.
Caregiver Stress can leave you feeling empty
Are you a caregiver experiencing fatigue? Guilt may crop up when you just want more time for yourself or burnout starts to cause emotional exhaustion. Whether you are caring for a family member, parent, or caring for multiple people at once. During this exhaustion, you might feel like you are becoming removed from your loved one and just going through the motions. Some days it’s an effort to do the simplest tasks, and even a full night of sleep won’t take care of how you feel. Are you ready to let joy into your life again? In therapy we will help make sense of your emotions while lessen fear, guilt, and anxiety. Through this process you will begin to feel relieved, learning how to prevent burnout and communicate better with your loved ones. Most importantly, you will find yourself again in this process with a renewed sense of excitement for living. Together, we will focus on the rewarding journey of feeling better about yourself, your family, and the world around you.
