If you haven’t checked out our website, you should! We have a new Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate student, Ashley, who brings a thoughtful and holistic presence to her work with clients. Ashley is passionate about creating a warm, collaborative space where people feel supported in exploring their inner experiences and moving toward greater wellbeing. She integrates approaches like Internal Family Systems, somatic work, and Gestalt therapy and is especially interested in trauma healing, spirituality, LGBTQ+ identities, and personal growth. Ashley’s work is grounded in curiosity, authenticity, and deep respect for each client’s unique journey. When she’s not in the counseling space, you’ll likely find her enjoying music and dancing, cooking, spending time outdoors, or relaxing at home with her kitties.

We are excited for you to meet Liz Geiger! Liz is especially drawn to working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, concerns related to eating and body image, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Guided by deep respect for each client's lived experience, she strives to walk alongside them as they reconnect with their resilience, clarify what matters most to them, and cultivate a more grounded and authentic sense of self.

Outside of her professional work, Liz enjoys connecting with close friends and family over quality time and good food, engaging in movement and exercise to support both emotional and physical well-being, and writing poetry as a means of giving voice to emotion and the complexity of the human experience. One of her original poems reflects the heart of her work and her belief in resilience:

To count your scars like tree trunk rings-not to know how old you are but to show how strong you are and how brave you are and how many mountains you've moved so far continuing to grow through your pain-your battles were not fought in vain

Clinician Spotlight🎉 On this Tuesday, we would love to introduce Allison! Her ability to connect with kids in such a warm, genuine way creates an environment where they feel safe, seen, and supported. There's a natural ease and comfort about her presence that makes a real difference—not just in how the kids respond, but in how they grow. It's clear she brings both heart and skill to everything she does including her work with adults! You may see her along side Karin Fields at HLA during the week!
