Hi! I’m Ashley Hudgens, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate based in North Carolina. I provide fully virtual counseling services for teens and young adults navigating life’s challenges. I also have experience in play therapy and working with children ages 5-12. However, due to being fully virtual, I am currently unable to take this age range. I hope to expand my practice in the near future with a physical office.
My approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and adaptability—I draw from evidence-based methods including trauma based interventions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and a client-centered framework.
I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of my clients. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment where clients can develop valuable coping skills and begin to believe in their own strength and capabilities.
Since beginning my journey as a licensed therapist two years ago, I have developed a strong passion for supporting individuals in overcoming trauma. Recently, I began specialized training in trauma-informed treatments and have earned my first certification in this area. My ongoing goal is to continue expanding my knowledge and refining my skills to provide the highest quality care to the clients I serve.
