I'm Ashley Scher, a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, and substance use concerns. My approach is grounded in compassion and a genuine commitment to understanding your unique experience.I have experience working with children and young adults in the foster care system, psychiatric facilities, homelessness, and substance abuse facilities.
I believe therapy works best when it's collaborative—where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes at your own pace. I draw on evidence-based practices to help you build insight, resilience, and lasting wellness. Whether you're processing past pain, managing present struggles, or working toward a healthier future, I'm here to walk alongside you with care and authenticity.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to support you on your journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
