About me

Thank you for sharing information about yourself. I'm so happy that you reached out for help.

I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC), a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Clinical Certified TeleMental Health Professional (CCTMHP), and I hold a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision (EdD) with over 20 years of experience in counseling. You can read more about my background, education, experience, and counseling approach by clicking on my name on this page. I have worked with individuals seeking counseling both virtually and face to face. I generally check messages here a couple of times per day and I try to respond within hours. I do appreciate your patience when it takes a bit longer at times, as I do have a full-time position and may be unable to respond until later.

With adolescents and teens, I use interventions and strategies that address a variety of issues, including but not limited to: Depression, Self-Injury, Anxiety, Anger Management, Relationship Issues, Conflict Resolution, Substance Use and Coping with Separation and Divorce.

I often utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy with teens. CBT is unique and individualized evidence-based treatment that is effective in treating each client's immediate and long-term goals. I am committed to providing high quality, excellent care, and a safe place for them to share.

Additionally, I may be available for phone and chat sessions on specific days. Please check my schedule and let me know if you do not see a time of day that works for you and I may be able to open a slot. Initial sessions are 30 minutes for information gathering. After which we can determine if the sessions will be 30 or 50 minutes. I will attach a therapy goals worksheet to get an idea of what you would like to work on during our time together.

Looking forward to working with you.

Dr. Bearlyn Ash, NCC, LPC, ACS, CCTMHP
