Ashley Johnson, LPCA
Hi, I’m Ashley Johnson, a trauma-informed licensed mental health clinician in Pickens, SC. My passion is walking alongside survivors of sexual violence and also eagerly provide healing for those needing support for anxiety, depression, grief, infidelity, life transitions, navigating relationships with peers and/or loved ones, self-esteem, sexual abuse, and trauma. My approach is grounded in person-centered therapy, which means I believe the most healing happens in a space where you feel genuinely heard, accepted, and understood, without judgment or pressure to be perfect or perform a certain way in therapy. We are all human.
I focus on building a real, honest connection with you as I help you explore your thoughts and emotions at your pace. I may gently challenge you when I gain insight on your unique experiences to encourage your growth. My goal is to walk alongside you as you gain insight, clarity, and self-confidence. While staying true to a compassionate, person-centered foundation is significant to our time together, I may also incorporate elements of specific modalities such as cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, and psychodynamic therapies. My specific research interests include attachment theory, polyvagal theory, neurobiology, emotionally focused therapy for individuals, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy.
Whether you’re facing life changes, emotional pain, or just feeling stuck, I’m here to offer support and curiosity, not perfection or judgment, as we work together toward growth and healing.
Please feel free to reach out to Ashley by using the information below.
