EMDR Therapy Orlando
Start living your life in full bloom.
Who is counseling for?
Sometimes life has you saying this — is bananas. Maybe you feel like you can’t break free from past trauma, harmful behaviors, unwanted thoughts, the constant nagging feeling of anxiety, or the heavy weight of depression and you are tired of it. No matter how hard to you try to will yourself to be better, nothing seems to really provide lasting change or relief. Maybe you feel like you are just going through the motions in life without ever feeling really connected to anyone or anything.
Perhaps your life is not currently what you pictured it to be. You want to be able to feel the full range of emotions and not be overwhelmed by any one feeling. You want to feel that life is meaningful and fulfilling. You want to move forward with your life, confidently in the direction you choose. You want to not only intellectually know, but actually FEEL that you are lovable, that you can trust yourself and others, you have choices, you are safe, and that you are not broken but in fact human. And that’s okay!
Traumatic and distressing life experiences can be like clouds over the sun. I’m here to help you see the sunlight again so you can bloom into the person you were meant to be, no longer inhibited by the past.
Allow Me to Introduce Myself
I’m Ashley Valence
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Maitland, FL specializing in working with individuals dealing with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and more utilizing EMDR therapy, traditional talk therapy, mindfulness and other tools.
I became a counselor because I believe that healthy humans have the ability to break cycles of unhealthy behaviors, trauma and abuse.
We may not have had control over the things that have happened to us, but we have the power to choose to heal from them. I feel honored to be able witness and support people as they find wholeness, healing, and empowerment within themselves.
In an effort to make counseling accessible to more individuals, I offer sliding scale and student rates. I also offer free 30 minute consultations so you can ask questions, learn more about the process, and see if I’m the right counselor for you before scheduling a full session. My office is located in Maitland, FL and is easily accessible from Winter Park, Orlando, Casselberry, and Altamonte Springs. I also provide telehealth services to those in the state of Florida.
What I Offer
“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style”.
