Ashley Bell
Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor -
Are you just f-ing tired? A car accident left you emotionally paralyzed. An assault shook up your life. A recent medical diagnosis or crisis has you questioning what’s next. All the “why” questions are flying through your head and the constant noise is driving you nuts. You want things to make sense. You want to feel like yourself again. Most of all, you want to go back in time to the thing that changed your body and do everything in your power to prevent it from happening. The problem is, no one prepared you for this and no one really understands how to help.
As a survivor of multiple head injuries and a person living with chronic illness, I can be real about recovery while offering hope and meaning for the future. In my office you’ll encounter art, blankets, lava lamps, laughter, tears, games, and too much swearing. The work towards healing your mind and body is painful, but I will provide glimmers of joy.
Reaching out for help is the hardest part, and I bet you’ve been thinking about it for a while. It’s ok if you’re nervous and don’t know where to start; I’m ready to answer any questions you have! You can call, email, or book an appointment on my website: my pledge to you is a response within 24 hours.
