Getting to know Ashley Houston
Life can be complicated, and change can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. I specialize in helping people face their past and move toward the healthy, fulfilling life they envision. With a strong background in trauma work and a favorite approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I focus on working through problems rather than just getting over them.
Whether you’re navigating challenges in intimate, platonic, or professional relationships, or dealing with workplace conflict, I meet you exactly where you are. Together, we’ll identify triggers, build an emotional vocabulary, and create practical coping tools to recognize and respond to physical and emotional signs of stress. Honesty and transparency are at the core of my work—you can fool others, but not yourself—and I believe that real progress starts with facing the truth.
I bring genuine compassion and energy to every session. My mission is to break down the stigma around therapy, particularly within the African American community, and to share the lessons that have shaped my own growth. I’ll never ask you to do something I haven’t done myself.
Outside the therapy room, I live life like a bucket list—skydiving for Mother’s Day, traveling to new countries, and bringing that adventurous spirit into my work. My approach is both fun and deeply intentional: it’s one thing to talk about the life you want; it’s another to build it, step by step. Whatever that looks like for you, we’ll create it together.

More information on payments and coverage
After scheduling your appointment through Zocdoc, you will receive a follow-up email from Tava with instructions to complete the necessary registration in our patient portal, including insurance and payment details. Placing a credit card on file is required to process insurance billing and any applicable deductible-related charges. Please complete your registration within 24 hours to ensure a smooth check-in and avoid delays in accessing care. If registration is not completed in time, we may not be able to verify your insurance coverage, which could result in unexpected out-of-pocket costs for your visit. Per our office policies, a fee may be charged for missed appointments or late cancellations.
