Getting to know Ashley Tedford
I'm a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's from Cal State University Sacramento. I have a passion for helping people thrive. My goal is to empower my clients with tools to help navigate life's challenges while developing self-awareness and emotional resilience along the way.
My approach
I utilize a cognitive behavioral approach to therapy that challenges the framework our past experiences have constructed. I also believe knowledge is power and enjoy bringing psychoeducation into sessions.
My focus
My main focus is to help people work through anxiety, worry, and self-esteem issues through examining unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Together, we will work to identify helpful tools and strategies to navigate life's challenges.
My communication style
I utilize clear, open communication to create an easy environment that is free from judgment. I am an active listener and will give you opportunities to draw your own conclusions about your experiences. You can also expect me to be a patient and gentle partner as we work towards growth.
My first session with you
Our first session is a chance for me to gain an understanding of what brought you to therapy. We will possibly discuss family dynamics, life experiences, mental health history, and identify goals for us to work towards.

I've been going through a lot of frustration from multiple sources which was negatively impacting my life. Since then I have found Ashley, who has been an absolute Godsend. I feel very fortunate to have Ashley in my life. She is incredibly upbeat, warm, personable and a great listener. She also knows how to keep the conversation on track when I have a tendency to drift. She challenges me to think in new ways and address my problems positively. Her insight is rebuilding my life, step by step.

Ashley is very compassionate, understanding, and insightful. She provides a subtle challenge guidance that provides me a roadmap to my treatment recovery and building blocks to continue in my recovery. Ashley has been my therapist for approximately 1+ years. I very much so appreciate her for her abilities to dig into my mental/emotional health throughly gently, yet deeply more than any other therapist I have had over the years. I am a better man with my mental/emotional well being.
