I believe meaningful therapy starts with feeling truly seen and understood without judgment. In our time together, you can expect warmth, curiosity, and genuine respect. Together, we’ll work to better understand what you’re experiencing and what might help create lasting change.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker and earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Before opening my private practice in 2021, I worked in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings with clients across the lifespan, from children to older adults.

Today, I work with adults mainly experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, as well as those navigating challenges related to relationships, identity, and major life transitions.

Outside of the therapy room, you can usually find me doing yoga, or attempting to garden with my dog Ralph by my side.

Therapist

Virtual • Austin, TX


I'm a relational therapist specializing in treating grief & loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, & parent-child relationships with adolescents & adults. Feeling stuck in a particular area of life such as your relationships, school/work, identity, or emotions? Sometimes we find ourselves repeating old habits that no longer serve us. I often work with individuals experiencing issues around shame and self-worth, who view themselves much harsher than the rest of the world. I offer room to explore these patterns with compassionate curiosity and supportive guidance for you to start trying something different – space for a new narrative.


To heal & move forward you first need to feel seen & heard. I listen deeply to carefully integrate different therapeutic approaches based upon what the individual or family needs from me. The human brain is hardwired for relationship & connection, so I work hard to build a safe space for us to explore, learn, & grow together.


There's a wealth of grit & resiliency inside each of us. It's my job to help you build on the internal strengths that already exist in you. Healing, growth, exploration, & change all take place in a secure relationship – including ours. Beginning therapy is an act of hope & a bid for health. Get in touch for a free 20m consultation & let's get started.

Ashley Hartland

Ashley Hartland

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hello and welcome. I’m Ashley, a licensed clinical social worker, and I specialize in working with young adults (18+) and adults throughout adulthood who have experienced complex trauma and relational wounds. Many of the people I work with struggle with intense emotions, fear of abandonment, painful or unstable relationship patterns, a harsh inner critic, shame, or a sense of feeling lost or unsure of who they are.

These experiences can show up as complex trauma symptoms such as emotional overwhelm, mood shifts, dissociation, difficulty trusting others, people-pleasing, or feeling “too much” or “not enough.”

I believe trauma lives not only in the mind, but also in the body and in our relationships.

Together, we work to understand your emotional reactions and protective behaviors, not to judge them, but to help you feel safer, more grounded, and more connected to yourself and others.

If you recognize yourself in these experiences and are ready to work on trauma and relationship patterns, I would be honored to support you.
