Getting to know Ashley Johnson

*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans* I support clients facing challenges such as anxiety, navigating young and emerging adulthood, depression, performance anxiety, fear of failure, procrastination, and everything in between. I use a combination of strategies to support clients, including skill building, replacing negative automatic thoughts, identifying patterns of behavior, analyzing past experiences, mindfulness, and additional personalized approaches tailored to each unique individual. Therapy can have a profound impact regardless of where someone is in life, which is one of the many benefits that individualized therapy provides. The space I hold for clients promotes a warm, non-judgmental atmosphere. It is important to me that my clients feel perfectly comfortable and safe while sharing their challenges, goals, and aspirations as we work together. My therapeutic style balances warmth and compassion with a touch of lightheartedness, as I don’t believe in being too hard on ourselves. I prioritize self-care by spending quality time with my pup Lucy, reading books of many genres, going to the gym, and racing at the 1/4 mile drag strip. As endorsed by D’Jonita Cottrell on Psychology Today: “Ashley is a great fit for young adults looking for a clinician who is genuine, lighthearted, and easy to talk to. She truly believes that clients are the experts in their own lives, and this encourages clients to feel empowered and capable as they navigate challenges. If you’re looking for someone that’s personable and authentic, book with Ashley!” Said one of Ashley’s patients: “It was very easy to find a provider for me; it was quick and not a hassle at all-just a quick 15-minute consultation and I was set up like that.” Ashley Johnson has a Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University. Ashley is a Licensed Social Worker, LSW 44SL07183600 at Cerebral. Supervised by Anna Haber, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW 44SC05661800.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I enjoy working with teens, young adults, and adults who face challenges such as anxiety, navigating young and emerging adulthood, depression, and procrastination. These individuals often seek guidance in overcoming performance anxiety, fear of failure, and uncertainty in life transitions. They aim to build confidence, manage emotions, and develop strategies for success and fulfillment. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients can understand their feelings, set achievable goals, and move forward with clarity and purpose.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Working with me is about feeling seen, supported, and understood. Beginning in my childhood, I have always been drawn to helping others, and becoming a clinician just felt natural. In our sessions, you can expect a safe space where you can share anything on your mind. I believe humor can be a powerful tool for healing, and I hope that after our time together, you will feel lighter, more grounded, and clearer about your next steps. My intent is to help you navigate life's challenges with confidence and self-compassion.
