Verus Counseling, PLLC

Hi there! My name is Ashley. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, and National Certified Counselor in Dallas, Texas with over 14 years of experience. I am passionate about providing trauma-informed, culturally competent mental health care to clients of all identities. I specialize in treating addiction, trauma, PTSD/complex PTSD, first responder trauma, and dissociative disorders. Often, my clients have tried therapy before, but they haven’t reached their mental health goals and would like to continue to work with a therapist. They feel stuck in their symptoms, which hold them back from enjoying comfort in their daily lives. These symptoms could include panic attacks, dissociative episodes, anxiety, depression, feeling disconnected from loved ones, or waves of sadness, all of which can lead to unhealthy self-medication. ​ I earned a Master’s degree in Professional Mental Health Counseling from an accredited program at Grand Canyon University. I am an EMDRIA certified EMDR therapist. I am also a member of the American Counseling Association, EMDR International Association, International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation, and Texas Counseling Association. I strive to be an empathetic, kind therapist who makes every client feel welcome and respected. I want my clients to feel present and engaged in their lives once more. I believe our minds and bodies are capable of healing and growth with the right environment, tools and support. I am so happy you have taken this first step! Take the next step and set up a free 15-minute consultation. You can decide if you want to work with me and if we are a good fit. I look forward to meeting you!
