ABOUT
I'm Ashley
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I was born and raised in Alpine, Utah-and if you know anything about Utah county-you know that I was raised in a literal Mormon bubble. I was the poster child for Mormonism and an incredibly devout member of the church.
However, when I graduated from BYU with my bachelor's degree, I knew I wanted a more diverse experience for myself in my graduate program than BYU could offer me. I ended up attending UNLV's couple and family therapy program and it truly changed my life for the better.
In December 2019 I ended up stepping away from the LDS/Mormon church, less than 2 weeks after graduating with my master's degree.

about Ashley V. Therapy
I created my therapy practice to help people have a safe space to process through any kind of trauma they have survived. While working through trauma can be an incredibly empowering and freeing experience, it can also be very lonely and scary. You do not have to work through your trauma alone, I am here to help.
