About

Hi there, I'm Ashley! Hello! I am Ashley Paulson, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Iowa and Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner in Nebraska. I offer online therapy to children, teens, and adults. I focus on helping those struggling with stress, anxiety, self-worth, parenting, trauma, and behavioral issues in children. My approach My approach is strength-based, attachment focused, and mindful. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, hypnosis, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). My focus I generally help people let go of what's holding them back. I often work with people on managing and reducing stress or anxiety, processing trauma or past experiences, building self-worth/self-esteem, becoming the parent they want to be, and helping parents increase cooperation at home through connection. My communication style I create a safe space for you to share whatever you need to share without judgement from me. I am both easy going and focused on helping you move toward a more fulfilling life. My journey to mental healthcare I am passionate about helping people let go of what's holding them back and move into being their true, authentic selves. My goals for you I explore with you what you want to achieve and how I may be best able to help you on this journey. My first session with you You should expect to share what's going on for you and feel supported by me in this process. I will explore with you goals you have for yourself and how I may be able to best help you in achieving your goals.
