Ashley Burks, PhD, NCC

My clients describe me as:

down-to-earth and warm, but willing to be firm with clients. I provide a welcoming space, but also maintain accountability for my clients.

Something to know about my approach is:

I am an anti-racist, LGBTQIA+ affirmative, and sex-positive counselor. I'm willing to talk about anything you're comfortable talking about and nothing is off limits. My goal is to support you in finding your own voice and learning to follow it.

Together, we will:

identify the underlying traumas you experienced, the emotions associated with them, and work towards a holistic balance in life. We will also build your personal tools for success, so that you no longer need me when the time feels right for you.

I specialize in working with people who:

want to overcome sexual shame and trauma that prevents them from having fulfilling relationships with their loved ones. I also work with first responders and their families to build loving relationships that conquer trauma.

I became a therapist because:

I have experienced many similar feelings as my clients and life shouldn’t have to be lonely or overwhelming. Healing happens with the help of others.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

you don’t have to leave the comfort and privacy of your own home. Online counseling also offers a level of flexibility you might not have otherwise.
