Ashley Barrett, LMFT

Ashley Barrett is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with eight years of clinical experience and two decades of work supporting young people. She creates a supportive, nonjudgmental space where individuals can be heard and begin to make meaningful changes in their lives. Her practice centers on helping people develop self-compassion, deepen self-understanding, and build emotional resilience while navigating difficult seasons.

She works with people who struggle with depression, anxiety, shame, and self-hatred, exploring the underlying factors that contribute to those feelings and offering practical strategies to make daily life more manageable. Her therapeutic style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative, focused on listening closely and helping clients reframe harsh self-narratives into more compassionate ones.

Ashley specializes in supporting teen and adult women facing hormonal health concerns, including premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), premenstrual exacerbation (PME), and peripartum depression and anxiety. She uses a holistic lens that considers relationships and environmental influences, and when appropriate she includes partners or family members to strengthen supports and shared understanding.

Her approach draws on practical, evidence-informed techniques aimed at increasing a sense of control and balance in everyday life. Ashley believes healing grows through connection, and she seeks to accompany people through their stories so they can rediscover worth, build resilience, and move toward a life that feels more like their own.
