I walked away from our conversation feeling empowered, supported, and ready to take on the big moments ahead.”

"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."

"Over 2 years, we gained first-hand experience with the incredible professionalism Ashley holds. "
“She is as much an artist as she is a coach because she looks at each child and family as totally unique but with the same basic desires in mind - independence, happiness, and safety. Years later we are grateful for the tools and understanding we gained from Ashley during a time when we needed guidance most. Ashley is a wealth of knowledge, an effective communicator, experienced, passionate, and a coach from which any child or family will benefit.”

"Coaching made me feel more confident about my endeavors."
"My favorite part of teen coaching was learning more about why I do the things I do or think the way I think; I thought it was exciting. I would recommend teen coaching for other teens because it helps prepare teens for adulthood. Adulting is not the most straightforward task, and guidance is beneficial. I had a great time; it was super laid-back, fun, and insightful.
Update: It's been a month since I had my course with Ashley, and I am proud to say that my grades are all A's, and my junior year is going great! I learned so much because of Ashley."

"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.
