Hey there!

I’m Ashley Harris (she/her) – I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work degree at Meredith College, and my Master of Social Work degree at NC State University. Prior to working in private practice, I worked in community-based mental health where I provided outpatient therapy as well as in-home counseling to youth and their families.

For me, therapy isn’t just my profession; it’s a passion and my mission. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and maternal and perinatal mental health. I work with clients who may be experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life and career stressors, and race-related identity issues. I support individuals navigating pregnancy, postpartum, pregnancy termination, the adjustment to motherhood, and the parenting of toddlers, young children, and teens. I also work with teens, young adults, adults and other clinicians (including individuals identifying as BIPOC and LGBTQIA+) who have experienced marginalization and racism, life transitions, career and life stressors, stressors related to college, self-esteem issues, and women’s issues.

My theoretical approach incorporates a humanistic, person-centered approach that is strengths-based so my clients and I can co-create a space where they can show up as their authentic self without judgment. I am trained in Perinatal Mental Health as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP).
