      <image:title>About - Meet Ashley</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hi there! I’m Ashley Davis, a licensed marriage and family therapist (or LMFT) in the state of North Carolina. I’m originally from the Triangle, and I love being able to make a positive impact in the community I grew up in through my work with the clients I serve. Being an LMFT, I have a unique approach to therapy, in that I approach therapy first and foremost from a systemic perspective. This essentially means that I place a large amount of emphasis on how people’s relationships, environments, and backgrounds affect their overall mental wellness and explore these areas in depth with my clients regardless of if they are participating in individual, couples or family therapy. Throughout my career as a therapist, I find that clients experience the most success when therapy is tailored to the individual client’s needs, rather than limiting therapy to one method of practice. As such, I employ several different therapeutic methodologies in my work with my clients including cognitive behavioral (CBT), acceptance and commitment (ACT), dialectical behavioral (DBT), mindfulness, solution focused, and Gottman therapies. When not working, I enjoy reading, being outdoors, yoga, going to live music shows, board game nights with friends, and spending time with my husband, daughter, and son. I look forward to working with you and assisting you with living a more centered and fulfilling life!</image:caption>
