My clinical work integrates Neuropsychotherapy and Executive Management principles to cultivate cognitive resilience and self-mastery.

Ashton Pattberg

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Ozark, AL


Hi there! I’m Ashton, and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes therapy should feel like a place where you can finally exhale, let your guard down, and be your authentic self.

I earned my master’s degree in Counseling and Psychology from Troy University in 2018 and have been practicing since June 2018. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in outpatient, educational, and private practice settings, giving me experience supporting people through a wide range of mental health concerns.

I especially enjoy working with adolescents and adults with ADHD and Autism, and I love helping clients better understand themselves, navigate big emotions, and find ways of coping that actually work for their brains and lives. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. We can figure it out together.

Hi! My name is Dallas Rabig, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) in Alabama. I specialize in early childhood trauma working with children, adolescents, and adults. Many adults who have faced such challenges may struggle with trust, intimacy, or communication in their relationships. Unresolved feelings from past experiences can lead to patterns of behavior that hinder relationship-building, such as fear of abandonment, anxiety in social situations, or difficulty expressing emotions. Additionally, I offer specialized services for women struggling with the complexities of menopause with a 16-week structured program in group settings.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, grief, or past trauma begin to take up more space than the life you want to live. You may be exhausted from carrying everything on your own, struggling to manage emotions, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. I work with adults and teens who are ready for change but may not know where to start. Together, we'll create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose.
