Ashley Shipman, LPC, LCPC, NCC

Welcome! My name is Ashley Shipman. I am passionate about helping people better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling truly seen, understood, and accepted. Through a family systems lens, I work with individuals, couples, and families to recognize patterns that shape their relationships, improve communication, and build healthier connections.

I have a particular interest in supporting women navigating anxiety, major life transitions, motherhood, and the pressures that can come with being a high-achieving professional. As an EMDR-trained clinician, I also support clients in processing traumatic experiences and building resilience.

My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and holistic, combining meaningful insight with practical tools clients can use in their everyday lives. Together, we explore how attachment, family dynamics, and past experiences influence the present while creating space for healing, growth, and a more authentic and fulfilling life.

My specialties include:

  • Trauma

  • PTSD

  • High-functioning anxiety

  • Perfectionism

  • Self-esteem and Identity

  • Boundary issues

  • Relational issues

  • Generational family trauma and abuse

  • Parenting

  • Stress and burnout

  • Spirituality

Ashley integrates specialized training in trauma-informed, relational, and couples-focused approaches into her work with clients. Her training includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Levels 1 and 2, as well as an Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Externship, expected to be completed in 2026. She is also pursuing Level 1 training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), expected to be completed in 2027. Additionally, Ashley is a trained facilitator for SYMBIS and Prepare/Enrich, providing support to couples through premarital counseling and relationship preparation.
