“I love Ashley! I love how she is direct when needed, gentle when needed and is always compassionate. She's informative, patient, accommodating and authentic. I'm sure she has many other great adjectives; I've just seen her for only four visits for complex trauma.”

Getting to know Ashley Kerner

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in Complex PTSD. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Florida State University and am passionate about helping individuals explore and heal the internal conflicts that often result from trauma, toxic behaviors, and negative thought patterns. My approach is grounded in self-reflection and guided by a commitment to cultural sensitivity and competence, ensuring that therapy is tailored to honor and respect your unique background and experiences. Using effective interventions like EMDR, IFS, DBT, and somatic processing, I help you understand the different parts of yourself and work toward healing the internal wounds that hinder your growth. My goal is to empower you to release the patterns that no longer serve you, fostering a sense of peace and resilience as you move forward to a healed and integrated self. If you're ready to explore your inner world, break free from harmful patterns, and step into a life of greater authenticity and well-being, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's work together to heal, grow, and thrive.

What should a new client know about working with you?

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
