Ashlee Reed
I LOVE what I get to do in my work with people. I care about people and I want to help.
Helen Keller is quoted as saying, “The only way out is through” and I believe you don’t have to do it alone. I view therapy as a collaborative process in which we work together in a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment. We partner to increase awareness of your thoughts and feelings, identify your values and goals, and practice actions to help keep you moving forward. Together we can identify and acquire effective skills to get your life to how you want it to be. You can do this. You have more ability than you may realize.
Approach
My approach is empathic, honest, and empowering. I hold space for others with my values of compassion, kindness, openness, genuineness, transparency, a little humor, and a lot of respect. I am absolutely honored that I get to walk alongside people in their deepest and most intimate struggles.
In our work together we start where you are, determine where you want to go, utilize your strengths, and put new skills into action too. I frequently utilize components of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Interventions, and Brainspotting (completed Phases 1 & 3 thus far). There are so many useful options and actions we can incorporate to meet your needs and get you to where you want to be.
Education and Experience
I have a Master’s degree in Counseling from Doane College. I am independently licensed with the state of Nebraska as a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP & LMHP), Certified Professional Counselor (CPC), and am Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C).
I have attended over a decade’s worth of trainings and educational opportunities, and I excitedly continue to pursue further education. I have experience working in a variety of settings with many different people handling life’s challenges. I frequently aid people who struggle with grief, anxiety, depression, perinatal/postpartum mood struggles, trauma, adjustment struggles/life transitions (i.e., college, relocation, divorce, death, etc.), and LGBTQIA+ struggles. The people I work with range in age from 18 to well into retirement.
When able, I enjoy volunteering my time through Mourning Hope. I love Mourning Hope and everything they do. Through them, I best learned how to companion people along their grief journey.
I love to learn, share, and help others. We all have struggles and we’re in this together.
You don’t have to do this alone.
