About Ashleigh
Hi, my name is Ashleigh Werkmeister! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LPC, LCADC), and I’m so glad you’re here.
I enjoy working with adults and adolescents who are struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, and substance use.
My Background
My professional background includes earning my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Monmouth University. I have previous experience working in both intensive outpatient and outpatient settings and am dually licensed in mental health and substance use treatment.
My Approach to Therapy
My approach to therapy is collaborative and empowering. I work to develop a partnership with my clients so we can work together toward achieving their goals. I strive to provide a therapeutic setting where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings while also developing a sense of empowerment. Depending on your needs, I may incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing into our work together.
A Little More About Me
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my dogs, cooking, and reading.
One of my favorite words of inspiration is, “Healing begins with hope. Every step forward is a step towards becoming the best version of yourself.”
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, and reaching out for support is a meaningful act of courage. Together, we can create a safe and nonjudgmental space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and goals at your own pace.
