Therapists in Davidson, NC

As a Counselor, I will work hard to help clients gain insight into both past and present experiences in order to empower themselves to make informed choices that lead to meaningful change. Talk therapy can be either in-person or online. I will accommodate what is most comfortable for my clients. I also offer Neurofeedback in my practice. Neurofeedback is a brain training technique that has been shown to be safe and effective for over 30 years. It is a form of biofeedback that offers the brain information about its own electrical activity, which has a profound impact on an individual's stress response.

Facing life's challenges and transitions should not be done alone. When you encounter issues arising from lifecycle changes, relational turmoil or any other challenges that invoke a crisis or grief, it is important to have genuine and empathetic support to guide you without passing judgment. As a spouse of a retired veteran, I have over 20 years of experience adapting to the lifestyle challenges that the military community encounters. I have helped many families successfully cope with the military lifestyle, relational struggles and raise special children.

*Accepting new clients..I have worked in the Charlotte area since 1997 completing evaluations and providing counseling. I specialize in assessing and diagnosing children, adolescents, and young adults. Psychological evaluations provide information necessary to help individuals achieve success in their lives. Parents often question: under-achievement, inattention/distractibility, executive skills, proper interventions, and/or strengths and weaknesses of their child. I assess for learning disabilities, attention disorders, autism spectrum disorders, anxiety, giftedness, kindergarten readiness, and private school admissions (CAIS).

Now accepting Blue Cross Blue Shield!! Do you ever feel at war with your thoughts, feelings and emotions? Wishing to find the peace and serenity you have always been looking for? My goal is to help guide and support you through these difficulties in order to find this tranquility. After working 25 years in the field of psychology, special education and counseling, I understand the trust and vulnerability it takes to open up and share your inner feelings and thoughts.

I specialize in working with the neurodiverse community (all ages) and draw from a wealth of experience to provide psycho-education, validation, empathy, and strategies. I hold space for processing the challenges while also working to identify strengths. When working with children, I utilize play therapy to focus on building your child’s understanding of their ADHD brain, equip them with skills to both understand and communicate what they are feeling, improve self-control, and increase their confidence. This often helps reduce the intensity of emotions that can be otherwise felt and expressed in BIG ways!

It has been a privilege in my many years of experience to work with clients struggling to find their way at a particular time in their life. I find it is often a state of worry, doubt, confusion or stress and yet they still have the hope that someone will reach out to help. I can help guide you across that bridge. In therapy, we together establish a collaborative and trusting relationship in which we will set specific goals that you want to address. I use a variety of successful treatment modalities to assist you in dealing with these challenges.

My name is Ashley Mills and I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist providing mental health therapy to individuals, couples, adults, and families. I have been in private practice for over 13 years.

I often work with people who have traumatic experiences, people with grief and loss issues, and people who are on the spectrum of Autism.

Does your child have trouble focusing or performing in school? Are you looking for parent strategies to better support your child’s needs? Are you concerned with your child's mental health or development? As a parent/caregiver, your natural instinct is to provide support for your child, although knowing the "what" or "how" is not always clear. All behavior communicates something. Whether it is a skill deficit, learned pattern, or underlying symptom, determining what lies behind the behavior is the first step to supporting it. You bring the experience as the parent and together we will determine the "what," "why," and "how."

I ascribe to several theories such as Person Centered Counseling, CBT, and Existential Theory. My areas of expertise include working with children, adolescents, and their families as well as young adults focusing on a wide array of issues including grief, depression, anxiety, anger, stress, ADHD in both children and adults with both males and females, Autism, adjustment issues, and trauma. I utilize varied techniques to reach out to each client individually in a unique way.

Offering Virtual Sessions Only. Licensed in NC, TN and SC. I believe when we focus on our mental health...other areas of our lives can improve.

I enjoy counseling teens and young adults who are navigating growing up and becoming independent. I also enjoy working with those who have "more life experience."
