I am an experienced Maryland licensed therapist. I have many years working with adults in various stages of life. The people I have helped were living with severe trauma, grief, addiction, divorce, career indecisions, relationship, life adjustment, body image and family problems. When left unresolved, these issues can lead to depression, anxiety, panic and generalized sadness or uneasiness. Sometimes we get stuck and don't know the way out of problems and painful/uncomfortable feelings that just won't go away. That's when we need the support of someone who can help in a warm and caring environment. You will find my approach to counseling is eclectic. What this means is, we can use a mixture of therapeutic tools based on your own needs. After all, we all have different backgrounds and have experienced different upbringings, cultures, religions, prejudices and home lives. So, after hearing your personal story and what you would like to achieve while here, you will have therapy that reflects your individual needs. I thought you might like to know a little about the person you will be speaking with. When I'm not counseling, I'm most likely hiking with my two dogs, Baily and Emmy. I love being outdoors but not so much during the winter :) I'm married with 2 grown children and I have a grandson. Oh, and I love to cook. I find cooking for me is relaxing......it puts me in a peaceful zone!

Welcome! I am so glad you're here. A safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment is key to bringing about the change clients are seeking in their lives and in their relationships. Creating that kind of environment in counseling is my primary goal. Additionally, I bring a breadth of training and experience that allows me to utilize a blend of approaches to counseling dealing with a wide range of concerns. My approach is eclectic—tailored to each client's unique needs. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important element of a helpful counseling experience. As such, I am actively engaged with clients and believe strongly in a collaborative and respectful relationship. Your issues, concerns, personal history, and worldview will inform our work together. My theoretical orientation is integrative and strength based—and I will strive to provide a safe and consistent relationship with you while challenging you to examine how you relate with the world around you. I hold a Master's Degree in Urban Studies, Policy Analysis and a Master's of Social Work Degree from Southern Connecticut State University. In my clinical experience I have counseled individual adults, groups, couples, and families. I have worked in a community counseling center, private practice setting, and a long-term care facility. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of Florida, a Licensed Certified Social Worker, Clinical, (LCSW-C) in the State of Maryland, and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of Connecticut. I also hold a designation of Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change.

I am a clinical social worker licensed in the state of Maryland. I have 8 years of experience in the field. I have worked with clients with various concerns such as depression, anxiety, family issues, relationship issues, parenting issues, ODD, ADHD, and trauma. I received my MSW from Salisbury University in 2015 and my clinical licensure in 2019. Some of my practice styles come from the strength’s perspective, solution focused therapy, and dialectal behavior therapy. I believe in helping clients identify their own strengths and what their ideal situation would look like in order to take achievable steps towards their goals. I also believe that client’s need a safe and neutral platform to verbalize and process thoughts and feelings. I work with individuals of all ages, children, teens, and adults for individual and family therapy. My style of therapy is very inviting and interactive. I believe in showing my clients the upmost respect in a empathetic and sincere manner. I provide therapy in a nonjudgmental manner allowing clients to be their true selves through the therapeutic process. I believe seeking therapy is the first step that an individual can take to make major steps toward change and commend those who do! I love the work that I do and the individuals I assist in becoming their best selves. I am excited to be working with you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience working with individuals and families in multiple settings including healthcare systems, schools, and small community based organizations. I have a Bachelor's degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Pennsylvania State University, and a Master's degree in Social Work from University of Texas-Austin. My experience has given me the opportunity to work with clients dealing with a broad range of issues to include, stress management, major life changes, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues/family problems just to name a few. My treatment style is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I empower clients to tell their story from their lens, while helping them to challenge negative thoughts, improve emotional regulation, increase their self-esteem, encourage their personal growth and development, and empowering them to create their own unique set of strategies to cope with life's twists and turns. I aim to build trust and authentic rapport while addressing my client’s concerns. Knowing that all situations are unique, I will do my best to provide you with the guidance and feedback that is best suited for you. Whether your challenges are recent or longstanding, whether you are seeking to improve your mood, relationships, or the ability to cope with difficult emotions, seeking help is a difficult yet courageous choice. I would be honored to walk with you on this healing journey, supporting you as you explore restorative paths toward hope and well-being.

Hi! I am Dr. Ashley Bordelon, a licensed psychologist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst living in Oregon. I received my Master's degree in 2006 and worked as a Licensed Professional Counselor prior to working with children and families for the next decade. I returned to school for my Ph.D., which I received in 2018, at Louisiana State University. I completed my internship and post-doctoral fellowship at the Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. I am a licensed psychologist in Maryland and Oregon. My experience in diagnosis and treatment of disorders ranges from childhood externalizing disorders (challenging behavior, Autism Spectrum Disorder, etc.) to internalizing disorders, such as anxiety and depression, in adults. My therapeutic techniques center around the underpinnings of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Mindfulness, values-based living, and behavior modification are all parts of this process. I will help guide you to learn to live with your feelings and thoughts and not against them, while helping you change your behavior to live closer to your personal values for the long-term. Please remember that BetterHelp is not intended for crisis therapy. If you are feeling suicidal, please call 911 or go to the hospital.

I believe that there is help for everyone and that progress IS success. I believe that anything worth having takes time and anything worth keeping takes patience. My goal is help you reach your goals with a systemic approach, that leads to positive outcomes. I have been in the field of Social Work for almost 20 years and I have had the pleasure of working with individuals, couples, groups, adults, seniors, teenagers, Active Duty Service Members, Veterans, clients struggling with addictions, clients struggling with grief and loss, and clients struggling with life challenges. Let’s work together to meet your goals and get you to that internal place of peace.

Let me start off by saying, I admire your braveness for seeking support and your dedication to yourself! Sometimes life can be overwhelming for a variety of reasons or for unknown reasons. It's very common to not feel okay and to not know what to do to make it better. What are your goals and what is in stopping you from reaching them? These are some of the concerns that bring people into counseling. I find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to be a beneficial technique to help people make changes in their thinking, which ultimately leads to changes in their behaviors. As a therapist, I will not tell you what to do or push my own agenda. Instead, I will challenge your current beliefs and thoughts to give you the confidence and tools to help you help yourself. If you are nervous about starting this process, therapy or counseling does not have a specific look and will be tailored to what you need. Respect, active listening and a nonjudgemental approach are very important factors in building a strong therapeutic rapport. A little bit about me, I am a clinical social worker who is licensed in the state of Maryland. I earned my Bachelors degree in psychology from James Madison University and my Masters of Social Work (MSW) from University of Maryland. I have over 11 years of experience and have worked in a variety of environments including hospitals and outpatient clinics. I have worked with clients who have many different needs, so please feel free to be open about what you are experiencing. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, parents and young adults. Depression, mood disorders, life changes, ADHD, anxiety, stress management, behavioral concerns and family issues are some of the reasons that brought people into therapy. I wish you much success in your journey of becoming the best version of yourself.
