Ashley is a Delight
"Ashley is a delight to work with as a teen and family coach. She has such an empathetic and nurturing presence. I have always felt very cared for and heard during our sessions. Her advice on parenting comes from a realistic, relatable, and compassionate place. I have called on her advice many times while raising my three sons. I always walk away from our conversations feeling more grounded and empowered. I am so thankful that I have her to turn to during this challenging time of being a mother. "

Coaching is a Safe Space
"The goals we set were achievable, and they helped me get through each week ahead of me. My sessions made me feel like I was getting somewhere, like I had something to use if I was ever in a bad situation that I did want to be in. My favorite part about my sessions was probably feeling accomplished when I finished one of my goals, but I would look forward to having sessions the whole week because it was a safe space to talk about anything that I went through the week before.I would definitely recommend coaching for other teens because it feels horrible to have to go through something alone, and coaching is a safe space to share what you are going through, which helped me get through each week just knowing that I would be able to share what I was going through. When I started coaching, I was not in a great place, but after six weeks, I was doing a lot better. After I finished those six weeks, I probably could have been fine on my own, but I loved coaching because you don’t have to be going through something you can just have weekly sessions just to check in and see how you're doing so I stayed for another six weeks. I’m really glad that I did because it was nice to know that I had someone to talk to at the end of the day."

She is Incredible at What she Does
"Sessions made me feel good, happy, refreshed and recharged. My favorite part about coaching was the productivity and the friendly and safe environment. Yes, I would 1000000000000000000% recommend teen couching for other teens because Ashley is amazing and caring and very helpful. Lastly, I would just like to say that Ashley is an amazing teen coach and creates a safe and loving environment. She is incredible at what she does and loves it with her whole heart."

It's Beautiful to Witness
"Since my daughter began coaching with Ashley, I noticed subtle shifts that have become stronger and more pronounced. I'm recognizing now that my teen has greater confidence, determination, and purpose in a complex and changing world filled with high expectations, pressure, thrill-seeking, and limited options for teens. Support outside of our immediate family circle has been a precious resource, its clear that my teen has learned new tools and communication skills to make self-supportive choices, discern and reflect on her peer relationships, grow her awareness and self-confidence, and move beyond unconscious and stuck family patterns we could never have addressed on our own. It's beautiful to witness, and I find myself less worried, more trusting, and more excited and curious about where she is headed while discovering new ways to support and be available as the inevitable challenges arise. Ashley has a way with teens, can meet them where they are, and acknowledge their journey and struggles; by earning their respect and confidence, she helps teens break the illusion of disconnection and isolation, becoming an ally.

The Parent Homework Helps!
"The homework that Ashley offered gave me a lot of insight into how my feelings translate into my parenting/actions toward my children and made me realize that sometimes even my best of intentions do not translate properly to the kids."

A Promise to My future self
"The difference between traditional therapy and working with Ashley is that I could come in every week and work on my life skills and learn ways to set up my life so I could be happy with what was happening. Though it can be similar in that both focus on improving your life, there is a different microscope that is used by Ashley. It definitely paired well working with Ashley and my therapist at the same time. What I liked about the time with Ashley was being given different ideas and tools to try out to see what worked for each aspect of my life. If people are on the fence, they should try it because they will probably like it. Nobody's perfect after all and everybody could use some advice."

"After Ashley worked with my daughter, she had a new sense of confidence and approached tough social situations with a more positive outlook. Each week my daughter loved her sessions and meeting with Ashley. They motivated her and held her accountable. Her favorite part was her weekly check-ins and talking with Ashley. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Ashley to others who are curious about teen coaching! Ashley helped my daughter change her current situation for the better. "

Thank you so much for the parent support group - even though I didn’t make all the sessions, overall, I received a lot of benefits. The parent of teens support group was especially helpful in navigating my shifting relationship with my 18-year-old, allowing her to individuate at another level but still providing support when needed.
