Ashley Palochak, LCSW

Ashley Palochak, LCSW

Psychotherapist
VA
I have been practicing some form of counseling/therapy since I started work in victim advocacy in 2018. My work with trauma survivors led to the pursuit of my masters in direct practice social work (MSW) and, ultimately, my license for clinical practice (LCSW) in 2024. I have a strong background and training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and I am fully trained and pursuing my certification in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy. I lean into the powerful combination of these two modalities to treat a wide spectrum of personal and emotional conditions including mood, personality, and impulse control disorders. I consider myself a warm and casual clinician. I value comfort and ease in therapeutic relationships, but I also hold my clients to high standards for a good working dynamic that enables change. I enjoy humor and banter, but I seek authenticity above all else, which means you (the client) bring your actual self, not the idealized version of yourself or some version you believe your therapist wants you to be.

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.
