Online Therapy in 40+ States & Territories
You know there’s more to life than what you’re experiencing right now.
Perhaps you've noticed that worry and anxiety have gradually taken up more space in your thoughts.
You appear composed on the outside and feel chaotic emotions inside
Simple decisions sometimes feel paralyzing
You find yourself constantly planning for worst-case scenarios
Social situations that should be enjoyable leave you drained or anxious
Physical symptoms like a racing heart have become familiar companions
Life is challenging enough without feeling like you’re carrying extra weight on your shoulders.
Hi, I’m Ashley.
I want you to know you’re not broken and there’s nothing wrong with you.
Dr. Ashley Pineda
You may just need a little support, and that’s okay.
Together, we'll find new ways to handle those uncomfortable emotions, and you'll finally be able to express thoughts and feelings you've been keeping inside.
Your world will expand beyond what anxiety has allowed. You'll make choices based on what YOU want in life, not what anxiety or fear tells you to do. You'll feel more centered, balanced, and authentically yourself.
If you've had enough of the overwhelm and you're ready for change, let's talk.
My Therapy Services
I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy for children, teens, and adults who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or not quite themselves.
I specialize in anxiety, OCD, and chronic illness counseling, but whatever situation life is throwing at you—I'm here to help.
Find relief from worry, stress, and fear through evidence-based techniques. Regain control and build resilience in your daily life.
Break free from intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Let’s work together to help you reclaim your sense of well-being.
Navigate the emotional challenges of living with a chronic condition. Develop effective coping skills and improved quality of life.
Help your child build emotional awareness, communication skills, and healthy coping strategies. Supportive approaches tailored to their developmental needs.
Support through the unique pressures of teenage years. Therapy with emphasis on anxiety, identity, and social concerns while respecting growing independence.
Work to address personal challenges and issues that may be holding you back. Release patterns that no longer serve you and create meaningful change.
Some of the actual transformations I have seen in my clients
-
They feel lighter as they share thoughts, feelings, and hurts that they have never shared with anyone before.
-
They feel known and understood, possibly for the first time in their lives.
-
They understand that there is nothing wrong with them, which helps build self-acceptance.
-
They become empowered by learning how to lean into uncomfortable emotions and experiences and how to handle them effectively.
-
Their world expands as they tackle anxiety or OCD symptoms, allowing their choices and decisions to be driven by what they want in life, not what anxiety or OCD dictates.
