Hello! I am Dr. Ashleigh Woods. I enjoy providing effective, quality mental health care to individuals and their families. The foundation of my practice rests on building meaningful connections with patients by valuing each person's unique experiences and goals. In therapy, I work with my patients to create an open and nonjudgmental space for them to explore their concerns. I am confident I can help you find your possibilities within life's limitations. I hope you take some time to read more about the services I offer. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. NOTE: Please see my website for rates. I received my Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) degree in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2011. I have trained and practiced in a variety of clinical settings including private practice, university counseling centers, inpatient settings, residential/intensive outpatient treatment settings, and community mental health. I serve as President for the Indiana Society for Psychoanalytic Thought (ISPT), local Division 39 (Psychoanalysis) of APA. I also serve as Practice Committee Chair and Board Member for the Indiana Psychological Association's (IPA) Practice Committee. I teach in Christian Theological Seminary's M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program.

​I'm passionate about helping you to both recognize and build inner resilience. My holistic understanding of wellness is rooted in culturally competent and evidence based approaches to psychotherapy. This foundation is informed not only by my clinical training, but also by an eclectic background in academia, psychological research, social justice movements, a variety of spiritual and religious contexts, mentoring teens, and teaching yoga. I hold an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Christian Theological Seminary and a Clinical Mental Health Counseling license in the state of Indiana. In addition, I hold a BA in both psychology and religious studies from Indiana University, which provides me with a broad understanding of how spirituality, religion, trauma, family systems, and society can affect us both negatively and positively. Learning and growing is a lifelong process that doesn’t end with a degree or certification. I am committed to and energized about my own growth as a clinician and person. This commitment to my own wellness and growth is a cornerstone to my work as a therapist.

I am a pre-licensed therapist working toward licensure. I've spent over 500 hours with clients in my graduate program and am currently growing my own caseload at Maitri Counseling Collective. My work is anchored in compassion and curiosity and my goal is to support my clients as they get to know themselves better. I am experienced in working with family dynamics, ADHD, anxiety, depression, body image, and faith deconstruction.

I work best with students who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or trying to make sense of a lot of emotions at once. You might be navigating big transitions, relationship stress, academic pressure, or feeling unsure about who you are or what comes next. Sometimes everything looks “fine” on the outside, but internally it feels heavy or hard to manage. The students I work with are often thoughtful and self-aware, but may feel stuck, overthinking, or emotionally drained. They’re looking for a space where they can slow down, understand what they’re feeling, and learn how to manage stress in a way that actually works for them. If you’re open to exploring your experiences, building emotional awareness, and finding more balance and clarity, we would likely be a good fit.

Is shame preventing you from fully experiencing life? Do you keep falling into unhealthy relationship patterns? Are you feeling overwhelmed or having difficulty adjusting to changes in your life? If these questions resonate with you, I am ready to walk with you along your healing journey. I utilize a variety of approaches, including EMDR, Trauma Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing and psychoeducation. I very much enjoy working with young adults and specialize in adjustment/life transitions, relationship concerns, perfectionism, adult children of alcoholics, family of origin issues, shame, trauma, and codependency. I promote self-discovery, which includes not only identifying problematic patterns and obstacles, but also exploring strengths and evidence of resiliency. In addition to my professional training, my own personal experiences have equipped me with compassion, empathy, and a desire to help others feel empowered as they pursue the life they desire.

Here’s a quick bit of information about my education, and areas of focus. I graduated from University of Louisville with Masters in Couple’s and Family Therapy, as well as Social Work. The majority of my training is in family systems therapy. In short, that means I believe all things function as a system and are interconnected. My approach to therapy is person centered, informal, and conversational. I believe it’s important to look at the whole picture, instead of solely placing the weight of the problem on one person. I also enjoy looking at Mind- Body- Spirit connection, which in my opinion tends to promote overall well-being. My focuses areas are: daily stressors, Depression, Anxiety, Life Adjustments, Relational concerns, etc. Some of the techniques I pull from frequently are: CBT,DBT, Distress Dis-tolerance( Mindfulness), IFS, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused, and motivational interviewing. Therapy is not a one size fit all. It’s important that the time you spend in session is designed for you. My work with you is tailored to you. My goal in session is to collaborate with you on your desired plan. I see myself as an assistant/ collaborator to helping you turn over the pieces in your life that need your attention. Therapy is the space and time where you are given the opportunity to be who you are. It is the space for you to be accepted and validate in a safe environment.

Talking helps. Trying to navigate life’s stressors can feel so isolating. Seeking support isn’t always easy, but the first step to making a positive change is talking to someone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been in the field since 2010, using a person-centered, strengths-based approach to help teens and adults manage mental health challenges. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, and life transitions. My approach prioritizes the therapeutic relationship and integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution- Focused Therapy, and mindfulness. I strive to provide a warm, collaborative, supportive, and non-judgmental environment to focus on achieving your goals. Whether you are seeking support in managing stress, trying to identify a path forward during a difficult time, or needing to develop specific skills to improve coping, I look forward to talking with you!

Are you ready to change how you feel and break old, unhealthy patterns? Perhaps you feel confused and defeated in your existing relationships or you lost a loved one? If you are dealing with painful and traumatic past experiences and are unsure where to start your healing process, I am honored to be a part of your healing journey. My aim in therapy is to create a warm, caring, and secure environment where you can develop a profound sense of self-awareness and understanding. I feel incredibly humbled to support you in your journey of clarity, self-awareness, and self-fulfillment. By utilizing collaborative methods and evidence-based treatments such as EMDR, ACT, and IPT, I tailor my approach to meet the specific needs and cultural backgrounds of adults facing various life struggles, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, ADHD, and issues related to low confidence. I believe that we all possess inner strength, and sometimes we need a little assistance to reach our highest potential. I also offer ADHD and psychological testing for adolescents and adults.
