Ashley Vroegindewey
Pre-Licensed Professional, LPCC
Are you struggling in navigating your experience with trauma, anxiety, depression, or neurodivergence? My style is nonjudgmental, compassionate and honest. I offer individualized therapeutic support tailored to your specific goals and needs. Because I do not believe that one therapeutic modality works for everyone, I use an integrative approach, pulling my theoretical orientation from various sources that I believe could benefit you as an individual and unique person, to help you accomplish your goals.
There is nothing "wrong" with you for seeking counseling. People start therapy with me for a wide array of reasons. Some of these reasons include:
-Because they feel stuck in their minds a lot of the time, worried and are experiencing tremendous amounts of anxiety.
-Because they struggle to focus on tasks at hand.
-Because they are feeling down or hopeless or like they don't matter.
-Because they have decided to address the aftermath of a traumatic experience.
-Because they are stressed over recent life changes and not sure how to cope.
There is no right or wrong reason or time to start therapy, and I am here to walk alongside you in your journey. I offer free consultation calls to discuss your needs and help us both see if it would be a good fit. Reach out for your free consultation call today!

Vincent Espinoza
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My therapy practice is focused on YOU, first and foremost! I believe we are all unique and a culmination of our values, desires, experiences and our untapped potential. My mission as a mental health clinician is to help my clients learn how to talk about sex in a healthy, unapologetic, sex-positive way and to confront and address past trauma so they can move into the present and enjoy a fulfilling life.
