I help adolescents, adults, couples, and families move beyond patterns that keep them stuck. Using EMDR, CBT, and DBT, I focus on building insight, strengthening coping skills, and creating lasting change. I approach therapy with a clear understanding of how past experiences can shape current patterns, while helping clients build practical tools to improve daily functioning. My background in crisis work allows me to provide steady, effective support even in high-stress situations.
Hello, my name is Ashley Powell. I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker, supervisor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I entered the field in 2011 and consider it an honor to assist my clients in their journey towards emotional healing.
I have nearly 30 years of experience in private practice, and I bring a warm, down-to-earth style to the work I do with adults and older adults. I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology and my master's degree in Counseling Education from Ohio University, and I have spent my career helping people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, life stressors, and women's issues. Many of the clients I work with are used to being the one everyone else counts on, even when their own needs have gone unheard. My goal is to offer practical, compassionate support that helps you feel more steady, understood, and confident as you move through whatever season of life you are facing.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Cleveland, OH
Finding OCD therapists in Cleveland starts with looking for the right training, not just the right location. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a common evidence-based approach for OCD, and not all therapists include it in their listed specialties. As you review options, look for experience with obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and related concerns. A therapist’s bio can help you see whether they mention ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or other approaches that match what you want to address.
Cleveland offers a broad range of mental health care options for a mid-size city, with in-person offices across different neighborhoods and virtual sessions that can make scheduling easier. If you are comparing OCD and anxiety centers, private practices, and individual therapists, pay close attention to how each therapist describes their OCD experience. A therapist who lists OCD as an area of focus may be different from one who names ERP training directly. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, session format, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Therapy in Cleveland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and it can also make it easier to stay with care over time. Headway helps you search for OCD therapists in Cleveland who are accepting new patients, compare bios, choose virtual or in-person care, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can review therapists, confirm coverage for your plan, and book directly when you’re ready.
