Therapy and support for the emotional impact of illness, injury, and loss
Ashley Williams, LCSW, CCTP-II, CBHP
Hi, I’m Ashley
I know what it's like when your body changes the life you thought you'd have.
As a therapist, researcher, and someone who has navigated serious illness firsthand, I've come to understand that the impact goes far beyond physical symptoms. It can change how you see yourself, your relationships, your sense of safety, and the future you imagined.
My work combines clinical expertise, research, and lived experience through a trauma-informed, mind-body approach. I believe healing goes beyond symptoms. It's about rebuilding trust in yourself, reconnecting with your body, and finding meaning in a life that looks different than you imagined.
