Meet Ashton Roach
LPC
Hello! I'm Ashton and first want you to know you're welcome here. I know starting or restarting therapy can feel overwhelming, and it is my hope that we can tailor the process so that you can feel safe and accepted as you work on you. My therapeutic approach includes using theoretical knowledge to frame treatment goals, while providing curiosity and compassion to explore your presenting concerns. I want each one of my clients to feel heard without judgment. I also want every client to leave each session feeling as though they have a better understanding of themselves, their relationships, and their beliefs. Our therapeutic relationship is also a significant indicator of progress, so I also want to know your experience as a client as we meet, so that I can continue serving you the best I can.
I see individuals ages 10-100. While I specialize in grief generally, I also work with clients who have experienced trauma. I am also happy to work with individuals who are going through life transitions, are experiencing anxiety and depression, and/or interpersonal and attachment-related issues. I always use a client-centered approach, with a combination of CBT, EMDR, and narrative approaches. In other words, we'll use evidenced-based practices based on what brings you to therapy, and we can assess thoughts, stuck beliefs, context, and storylines - each of those components being unique to each client.
A bit about me personally: I grew up in Northern Kentucky and received my BS from Penn State and my MS from Northern Kentucky University. I have a daughter who is amazing, and understand the coparenting experience. I prefer being outside and frequent Red River Gorge to climb high on rocks! Adventure is central to who I am, and so I tend to use nature and adventure metaphors in sessions. Other hobbies include mountain biking, hiking, backpacking, drawing, and games.
I wish you the very best in your therapeutic journey, and I look forward to working with you!
