Ashlee Rodgers-Pritchett

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor

If you know something needs to change but don’t know where to start, I’m here to help you sort through it.

You’re upset with someone, but you haven’t told them because you’re worried about how they’ll react. You make a decision, then spend hours talking yourself out of it. You agree to keep the peace, then feel frustrated that your needs keep coming last. Everything feels connected, and it’s hard to know what to work on first.

Some of the heaviness has been there for years. You’ve kept going, but painful experiences still shape how you see yourself and what you expect from others. You want to trust people, yet you keep waiting to be hurt. Memories come up when you wish they wouldn’t, and anger follows you into moments you wanted to enjoy. You’re frustrated that something from years ago can still affect you this much.

Counseling isn’t only for a crisis. It’s for anyone who is struggling, confused, mentally tired, or overwhelmed. You can come with a specific problem or because you’ve reached the point of saying, “I can’t keep feeling like this.” Here, you can tell me what still hurts, including the things you think you “should be over,” and no one will rush you to find the bright side.

  • My job isn’t to rewrite your story. It’s to walk alongside you as you make sense of the pieces. I’ve always wanted to understand people and how their experiences have shaped them, so I’ll listen closely and point out the connections I notice between what you’ve been through and what you’re dealing with now.

    We’ll work on the practical side too. I call the thoughts that keep picking you apart “thought bullies.” When one mistake turns into “I mess everything up,” we’ll look at what actually happened, what you’re assuming, and what that conclusion leaves out. Then we’ll practice talking to yourself in a way that’s honest and fair. If you need to tell your mom no or tell your partner that something hurt you, we can rehearse it out loud and work through where you get stuck. I draw from CBT, ACT, and DBT, including grounding skills for when worry or anger feels intense.

    You can talk to me the way you actually talk. You can tell me you’re angry, say you don’t know why you’re crying, or admit that you love someone and you’re unhappy with how things are between you. Our sessions are conversational, there’s room for humor when it fits, and if I misunderstand you, I want you to tell me.

    I work through a holistic lens of mind, body, and spirit. Instead of asking you to "know yourself," we explore what's happening emotionally, physically, and spiritually so you can begin to recognize your own voice again. We gently uncover what feels true for you, what feels heavy, and what needs attention or healing. There's no pressure to have answers. This is a space to discover them.

    For couples, I use the Gottman Method to help you understand the heart of the conflict without blame or shame. You'll learn to communicate clearly, repair honestly, and see each other with fresh eyes. Whether you're rebuilding or deciding on a direction, we slow the chaos down so you can hear the truth beneath the arguments.

    When you're coming in alone, I help you build a relationship with yourself. Maybe you don't know who you are. You may have never had the space to even ask the question. That's okay. We start where you are. We look at the weight you've been carrying, the patterns that feel familiar, the parts of you that are tired, and the parts that are ready to grow.

    No matter how you show up, I meet you with steadiness, compassion, and zero judgment. You don't have to know who you are before you walk in. You just have to show up. We'll discover the rest together.
