Working with Ashley over the last year has helped me quite a bit. When I started therapy with Ashley I was focused on my weight. We were able to work together to find out why I used food to numb my feelings. I began to deal with my emotions directly. I stopped beating myself up and using black and white thinking. I am treating food as food and not a drug. I really appreciate all the help Ashley has given me.

emotional overeating
Ashley guided me through many meaningful sessions, in a safe environment, over the course of my treatment. She helped me understand that, at its core, Binge Eating Disorder (BED), is emotional eating; a response to stress and anxiety. Ashley led me to helpful insights and gave me valuable tools to move forward. She is a wonderful example of a committed and intelligent therapist.

emotional overeating
Even in the beginning of my time working with Ashley, I could tell how much she believed in me. Knowing how much she believed in me motivated me to work harder in therapy to believe in myself. Learning to believe in myself wasn’t easy, but it was possible, especially with Ashley’s continuous guidance and support.
