You have already taken the first step in achieving your emotional and mental health goals by exploring Betterhelp and searching for someone to talk with. The next step is finding a therapist that you can truly connect with to establish that partnership in helping make your goals and desires for therapy a reality! I am Ashley Brummett, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 18 years of experience as a Social Worker and over 10 years of experience in counseling. I have worked in a variety of settings such as Child Protection, Adults with Cognitive Disabilities, Hospice and Palliative Care, Inpatient hospital, Outpatient Mental Health Clinic, Long-term Care Facility, and Dialysis Clinics. Those settings have provided me with experience in depression, anxiety, grief/bereavement, adjustment to life changes, caregiver fatigue/stress, and coping with other challenging life events. Personally, I have dealt with divorce, blending of families, caregiver fatigue, and grief/loss, which allows me to be especially empathetic to those circumstances. I am also a parent to teenagers! My approach is warm and genuine. I believe in open, honest communication with no judgement. I am very compassionate and empathetic and strive to make you feel better with each interaction. I do have Christian beliefs and am more than willing to incorporate that into therapy, however, am completely comfortable if you do not want that. I will truly meet you where you are. My availability is typically evenings and weekends, however, there may be weekdays that I can be available during the day. I am available via call, video, or text. I will typically check my messages on Betterhelp at least once each day and will respond to you as quickly as possible. Thank you so much and I look forward to being of service to you!

Greetings! My name is Kelly and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor from Louisville Kentucky. I am a graduate of the University of Kentucky with a Bachelor of Arts in Gender and Women’s Studies (with an emphasis in Social Inequalities and a minor in African American Studies), I obtained a Masters of Education from Lindsey Wilson College in Counseling and Human Development; I am currently pursuing a PhD in Counseling Education and Supervision. In over a decade I have been intentional in my professional pursuits and have experience empowering youth and adults in a variety of populations and service environments including outpatient, acute inpatient, and residential treatment. Prior to my current work as a counselor for patients receiving medication assisted treatment I served in Behavioral Health management, as a therapist in a rehabilitation hospital serving patients with complicated grief issues, I built a mobile assessment team for a hospital system serving 6 rural hospitals, managed a growing outpatient clinic servicing children and adults with behavioral health issues, and worked in community mental health leading an Assertive Community Treatment Team providing intensive care for patients with severe and persistent mental illness. I began my career leading an Adult Day treatment Program (then transitioning to Case Management) for patients with Traumatic Brain Injuries. I believe that good clinicians are well rounded and actively engage my community by serving on a number of Boards and community based initiatives; I is currently the President of the NAMI Kentucky Board of Directors. As a Counselor, an advocate, a teacher, a trainer, and lifelong student, my personal motto “A heart for people, a passion for restoration, and a spirit to serve." illustrates my ever growing desire to support, revive, and rebuild those underserved and marginalized within my community. I want you to know that you matter to me, your wellness matters to me, and together we can work to pursue your best.

Hello there. I am a licensed clinical social worker. My professional and life experience is in Kentucky where I was born and raised. I have been providing therapy and supportive counseling to people for nearly forty years. I started with children, adolescents, and their families. Most recently I had the privilege of working with our Veterans. In most cases we addressed depression and suicidality. But it is best when we can start before that stage. It is best to ask for some help when you first notice something is just not right. Something is off. It is my pleasure to work with people as they work to get things back on track. My style is open, encouraging, interactive and hopeful. While I am laid back, I am also respectfully straight forward and expect you to be also. We must communicate and cooperate to make changes. I appreciate the ability to provide services online, however I do not accept clients who want to text only. I personally need to see you or at the least hear you. I do look forward to talking with you.
