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 am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Clinical Mental Health Therapist dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and trauma-informed care in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Cleveland State University and my Master of Science in Social Administration from Case Western Reserve University. I also completed a Trauma Certification at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and have training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), an evidence-based treatment for trauma. My additional professional training includes Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and parenting skills.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. My areas of focus include trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, stress management, and emotional regulation. As a bilingual therapist, I am committed to providing culturally responsive care to both English- and Spanish-speaking individuals.
My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I believe healing begins with a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I integrate trauma-informed care, TF-CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and person-centered techniques to help clients build resilience, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.
My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths, restore balance, and move toward a more fulfilling and authentic life.
Hì! My name is Ivelisse. I support clients facing challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.
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.
With over 25 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating grief and loss, life transitions, chronic illness, trauma (including first responders), aging-related concerns, and members of the agricultural and farming communities.
I provide telehealth services across multiple states, I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Dayton, OH
Searching for therapists in Dayton starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists may help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, and work stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Dayton has a smaller local provider market than larger Ohio cities, so virtual therapy can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still keeping care connected to your schedule. Some people prefer in-person sessions near downtown Dayton, Kettering, or the Miami Valley, while others choose virtual appointments for more flexibility. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, free phone consultation options, and the therapist’s communication style. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand what sessions may feel like and whether the therapist’s approach fits your needs.
Therapy in Dayton can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, show upfront cost estimates, and are accepting new patients. You can browse therapists in Dayton, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
