Ashley Lanehurst, PhD

Welcome! I am genuinely excited to have the potential opportunity of working with you on your healing journey. My top priority is to understand what goals you have for yourself in therapy so that we can create a roadmap of how to get there. My approach relies heavily on attachment theory. I believe the interpersonal frameworks that we have internalized are the foundation for how we navigate the relationships we have with ourselves and others. I also integrate tangible practices that will aid in your healing journey, including discussions about self-compassion, coping strategies, and ways to nurture yourself on a daily basis.

I love to work with people who have amazing insight into themselves or don’t understand themselves at all. With either position, there is so much opportunity for learning and growth toward healing from whatever challenges you have been presented with. With me as aid, you will come to your own understanding of the roads you need to take to be more connected.

Collaborative care is my top priority as we set goals and create an outline for your healing journey. I typically would like to learn about you from the very beginning. While it may be cliché, we know that childhood sets the stage for subsequent challenges and opportunities that we face throughout life.
