I specialize in working with individuals who are looking to do deep inner work & who have been to traditional therapy before, but have come to an impasse. For those clients who have talked it all out, but continue to suffer, I offer an alternative approach. Many individuals whom I have had the privilege to walk with on their healing journey were facing things like depression, anxiety, life transitions, chronic pain, parenting difficulties & trauma. I am trained in EMDR, TRE & use these with clients as part of a wholistic approach. My intent is to provide a safe and non-threatening space to explore and release difficult histories.
My approach to therapy is a somatic based one. This means I view the mind and body as connected. I help my clients to connect to their bodies and listen to what it is trying to call their attention to, as well to help clients release histories, feelings and energies stored in the body which might be causing us both psychological and physical pain.
Throughout my years of working with clients, I have developed skill & intuition which I bring to each unique session. I have sincere respect for anyone who makes the decision to heal themselves. It takes bravery to be here, to be willing to look inward. Please find me on Facebook, (Discovering Peace Within) and Instagram, (ashleypickardlmft) to learn more.

TRE® is an innovative series of simple exercises which assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension, and trauma by inducing a gentle muscular shaking response. This natural response generally feels pleasant and soothing, and after doing TRE, many people report feelings of peace and well-being. What you can expect: To learn about how stress & trauma are stored in the body as well as how to engage the body's natural tremor response. You will also learn how to integrate this practice into your everyday lives. ***Next class is: January 20th 10-11:30am.***
