Ashley MerklinghausClinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

About

As a therapist, my ideal client is an adolescent or adult struggling with depression, anxiety, daily challenges, self harm, suicidal thoughts, or trauma. They may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected but have a deep desire for healing, growth, and change. They want to feel like themselves again—or, for the first time, truly know who they are. Through therapy, they seek not just to survive but to thrive, building a life that feels authentic, fulfilling, and hopeful. They understand the journey may be tough, but together, we will help them become the person they have always dreamed of being.
