Dr. Ashley S. Holcomb

I’m a mother. I’m a wife. I’m a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. And I’m a CycleBreaker.

When I started graduate school, I wanted to work with children who had experienced trauma. I focused my coursework and my training experiences on developmental psychology and on trauma-informed care. I wanted to understand my own experiences and understand the experiences of others so that I could help young people not be defined by the generational cycles that came before them.

Though I set out to work with children, I kept finding myself more and more drawn toward the mothers of the children I worked with. Mothers who saw the damage of generational trauma and wanted that cycle to stop with them. Mothers who were dedicated to creating a safe space in their home despite never having seen one. Mothers who wanted healthy relationships and healthy parenting but had no road map and no village.

I then set out to put together all the pieces – getting training in parenting, relationships, and trauma recovery so I could be a resource to these hard-working, brave women. In individual therapy, I blend evidence-based, practical tools from the cognitive behavioral therapies to help women recover from trauma, parent effectively, and heal their relationships. I also am a strong critic of mom-shaming and strive to provide a supportive, safe space to talk.

Part of what drives me as a therapist is a deep core belief that all people deserve to thrive. I believe that having a space to feel heard can be instrumental in human thriving. It's amazing how much easier you can breathe when someone takes the time to just listen. This belief is inspired by my religious and cultural values, while also challenging me to continually remain open to other people's religious and cultural values. I welcome all people of any ethnicity, religion, gender, or sexual orientation and am passionate about all people feeling heard.
