Ashay M. Buckner, LISW-S

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Supervisor who is passionate about helping individuals, children, and families heal from the wounds that continue to impact their lives, relationships, and parenting. I believe that many of the struggles we face today are connected to unresolved experiences from our childhoods. My work is rooted in helping people identify those patterns, understand where they came from, and make intentional choices to create something different for themselves and future generations. Pathway to Purpose Early Learning Center LLC was founded to provide a safe space for those who are ready to heal from childhood trauma, challenge unhealthy family patterns, and break cycles of dysfunction. Whether you are struggling with grief, relationship challenges, parenting difficulties, anxiety, depression, or the effects of past trauma, you do not have to navigate it alone. With over 12 years of experience, I have had the privilege of supporting children, adults, and families through some of life's most difficult seasons. I specialize in family systems and relationships across the lifespan—from toddlers and young children to adult children, parents, and grandparents. My areas of focus include Early Childhood Mental Health, Childhood Trauma, Grief and Loss, Women's Issues, Men's Issues, and supporting Black and Brown families, but all are welcomed. I understand that healing can be uncomfortable work, but I also believe it is some of the most important work we will ever do. My goal is to help you move beyond survival, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and create healthier relationships with the people you love. Healing is your God-given right. Freedom is possible. Generational cycles can be broken. You and your family deserve the opportunity to experience peace, healing, and wholeness.
