Getting to know Debbi Ashby

Hi there, I'm Debbi! I'm a licensed psychotherapist with 30 years of experience in the field of psychology and therapy. I offer virtual therapy to clients all over California. I've worked mostly with adults throughout my career but have also worked with families and couples. My primary areas of expertise are understanding and healing from trauma, managing symptoms of depression and anxiety, stress reduction, and developing life goals that best suit you. My approach My goal is to tailor my therapy sessions to each client's specific stated needs and preferences. I have used multiple kinds of therapy approaches in my career, including more traditional models such as trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy to more holistic therapies: mindfulness-based stress reduction and EFT/Tapping. I believe it's essential to address the connections between our thoughts, feelings, behavior, emotional reactions, and spiritual/cultural beliefs in order to best promote lasting healing as well as life satisfaction. My focus I have worked with clients from one end of the spectrum - those with severe, persistent mental health disorders and addictions to those individuals (as well as couples and families) who may not have a mental health challenge, or a mild one if they do, and primarily want to improve the quality of their communication styles, their significant relationships, and how they view themselves. I've found that telehealth therapy works best for issues like working through past trauma, anxiety, depression, self-image, maladaptive behaviors that result in relationship problems, formulating and working to achieve personal goals, stress reduction, exploring and valuing one's identity, developing self-compassion and self-awareness. My communication style I'm committed to providing therapy that is accepting, non-judgmental, culturally sensitive, and caring in nature.
