Ashlee Parker
Therapist
LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health. I believe therapy should feel real, supportive, and human. I bring a direct—but warm—approach to my work, valuing honesty and a kind of connection that makes hard conversations feel a little easier.
Therapy with me often includes laughter alongside depth, because healing doesn’t have to be stiff or overly clinical to be meaningful.
I am licensed in West Virginia and work with ages 16+.
I take a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach that invites clients to actively participate in their growth and healing. If you’re looking for a therapist who will be honest with you, sit with you in the hard moments, and help you find moments of lightness along the way, I would be honored to work with you.
I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, stress, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also work with individuals recovering from coercive control or narcissistic abuse, helping clients rebuild trust in themselves and reconnect with their sense of clarity and agency.
Much of my work focuses on supporting professionals, emerging professionals, and students managing academic or career pressure, as well as individuals facing chronic mental health challenges or economic stressors. I am deeply committed to culturally responsive care and have a focused dedication to supporting BIPOC individuals, creating a therapeutic space that feels affirming, inclusive, and grounded in lived experience.
I completed my clinical residency in Atlanta, Georgia, where I collaborated with diverse professionals from around the world. This experience strengthened my ability to provide individualized, culturally informed care and reinforced my belief that effective therapy honors both cultural context and personal story.
Outside of the therapy room, I advocate for local animal rescues and shelters, am a devoted owner of two Rottweilers, and a proud parent of three children.
Music across all genres has also been meaningful to me—not just as enjoyment, but as a way to process emotions, create change, and feel connected. Much like therapy, I believe music can be a powerful tool for communication, healing, and growth.
My lived experiences continue to deepen my understanding of family dynamics, developmental stages, and life transitions, and often add humor and perspective to the work I do with clients.
