Ashley Ricciardi, LMHC
Hi, I'm Ashley, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to guiding individuals on their journey towards healing and self-discovery. I earned my Masters in Counselor Education from the University of Central Florida in 2010 and have since accumulated a wealth of experience in the field.
Previously, I served as a clinical director and therapist, specializing in working with at-risk youth within a residential setting. Transitioning to private practice in 2015, I've continued to expand my expertise in various areas, including trauma, family systems, attachment, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and navigating major life transitions. My clientele primarily consists of adolescents and adults.
Taking a client-centered, trauma-informed approach, I prioritize creating a safe and sacred space where clients feel empowered to explore their emotions and uncover effective solutions for growth. Drawing from modalities such as EMDR, Mindfulness-Based Therapies, Family Systems, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I guide clients towards a deeper understanding of themselves and their innate resilience.
I value and honor the opportunity to walk beside you during some of the most vulnerable moments in your life. I will guide you while you reconnect with your true self, increase self-awareness, heal emotional wounds, and gain emotional clarity to improve the quality of your life. It is my hope that each of my clients will become experts in their own lives.
Additionally, I am passionate about supporting the LGBTQ+ community and providing affirming therapy that respects and celebrates diverse identities.
The most important relationship is the one you have with yourself.
