Hi, I’m Ashley, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families. My professional experience includes residential treatment, in-home services, community-based programs, and school settings. I have worked with individuals experiencing a variety of emotional, behavioral, and relational concerns.

My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, PTSD, grief, anger, emotional dysregulation, relationship concerns, parenting challenges (including parents struggling with managing ADHD & ASD (autism) Child development), self-esteem, and major life transitions. I also enjoy helping clients better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and break patterns that may no longer be serving them.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel comfortable being your authentic self and supported as you work toward meaningful change.

Roman Stange

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


Hi, I’m Roman, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Connecticut with eight years of clinical experience in the United States and Latin America. I support people from many backgrounds who are navigating trauma, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, abuse, narcissistic abuse, ADHD, and immigration-related challenges. These experiences have deepened my understanding of how relationships, culture, and environment can shape the way we see ourselves and the world. The most common feedback I get from clients is that I am relatable, caring, and easy to talk to. I treat people like real people, not just a list of symptoms or problems. Building a strong, trusting connection is an important part of the process that I take very seriously, aiming to engage in co-created, and transparent collaboration with my clients.
