Ashley Johnson-Terleski

I believe that a meaningful life is rooted in the relationships we cultivate—with ourselves, with others, with our communities, with nature, and with something greater than ourselves. Since 2008, I have supported children, teens, adults, and families by offering a therapeutic space grounded in warmth, authenticity, curiosity—and yes, even a little humor. My approach is collaborative, flexible, and deeply relational. I do not view my role as "fixing" you, because you're not broken. Instead, I aim to support, challenge, and guide you in reconnecting with your own inner wisdom, resilience, and potential for growth. In our work together, I draw from a variety of evidence-based and holistic modalities to meet your unique needs. These include somatic practices, psychoanalysis, narrative therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, attachment-focused therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS), nature-based therapy, and principles of nutritional psychology. I also consider how aspects of daily life, such as nutrition, movement, sleep, and environment, interact with emotional well-being. My specialties include: Neurodiversity (Autism/ADHD) Complex trauma and PTSD Attachment and relationship challenges Depression and anxiety Foster care and adoption Perinatal mental health (pregnancy and postpartum) Currently, I offer virtual therapy for teens, adults, and parents. While I do not provide virtual therapy directly to children, I work closely with parents to offer strategies and insights they can use at home. I also offer limited community-based sessions for those interested in incorporating nature-based approaches into their healing process. If you are ready to explore, heal, and grow, I'd be honored to meet you where you are and walk alongside you on your journey.
