CBT and Trauma Informed Care
Care typically begins with a virtual psychiatric evaluation to better understand each client’s history, symptoms and goals.
From there, Ashley structures ongoing telehealth visits to support medication management, symptom monitoring and therapeutic conversation in a flexible and accessible setting.
