Paigean Jones
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, PMH-C, RYT-200
In a world that often values toughness, being a highly sensitive and soft-hearted person can feel like a burden. We might say “yes” when we really mean “no”. And we may feel like we have to act differently to fit in, even if it means putting others before ourselves. Sometimes it can feel tough to find our inner courage, speak up for what we want, and create positive boundaries. This can be especially true when we’re striving for success in our careers, supporting our loved ones emotionally, or navigating big life changes like pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Cascade Psychological Services, PLLC
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
I work especially well with thoughtful, capable people who may understand themselves intellectually yet continue to feel caught in patterns they cannot resolve through insight or effort alone. Many of my patients are accustomed to functioning well, carrying responsibility, and caring for others while privately struggling with anxiety, depletion, shame, emotional overwhelm, or disconnection from themselves.
What distinguishes my practice is the depth and individuality of the work. I do not reduce people to diagnoses or apply the same treatment formula to everyone. I seek to understand how your history, relationships, identities, strengths, and protective strategies have shaped your inner world. I am attentive not only to what you tell me, but also to what may be difficult to articulate, what repeatedly gets enacted in relationships, and what unfolds between us in therapy.
My style is thoughtful, engaged, and collaborative. I respect complexity and do not impose artificial urgency, but I am not passive. I will help us notice when fear, avoidance, or familiar patterns begin to limit what feels possible. My goal is to offer a relationship in which you can become more fully known, develop a different relationship with your internal experience, and gain greater freedom to choose how you want to live.

Dr. Ashley Geerts-Perry
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
As a licensed psychologist, I am deeply passionate about supporting my clients in enhancing their self-worth and building on their inherent strengths. I believe in the power of rewriting personal narratives, helping clients reframe maladaptive beliefs about themselves and embrace a more empowering story. My approach is rooted in fostering emotional acceptance and guiding clients toward a life that aligns with their values.
I work from a family systems and attachment perspective, recognizing the profound impact relationships and early experiences have on one’s sense of self. I integrate psychodynamic and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles to create a therapeutic space that promotes self-compassion, growth, and resilience. My goal is to help clients not only understand their past but also move forward with a renewed sense of purpose and emotional well-being.
