My clients are ready for a change. They want connection, confidence and maybe even a little peace but can’t figure out how to ‘get there.’ Attempting to share their experience with others has left them feeling exposed, and acknowledging their own thoughts and emotions leaves them feeling overwhelmed. They are pros at compartmentalizing. Whether it’s overbooking their schedules, always saying ‘yes’, making themselves smaller to avoid conflict, or thinking thinking thinking to find the least risky options…nothing is making the worry, sadness and insecurity go away. They’ve been managing this way for so long they can’t imagine what it would be like to do things differently but a part of them holds hope it might be possible. I help my clients increase self trust and consider what they could invite into their lives if they didn’t have to work so hard to avoid their feelings and others’ reactions. Living life with more calm, confidence and clarity is possible. https://www.ashleythompsontherapy.com/services daily 0.75 2025-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5faa8f1bdd6db27357a9a415/1609428655317-II41AV4ZEMMUJUN8XF7P/Stocksy_txpc9b39c70rcw200_Medium_1387026.jpg Services - A journey inward. Therapy can be hard work: deconstructing what we’ve learned, challenging assumptions and expectations, questioning things we formerly accepted which now may no longer serve us, understanding our layers. And vulnerability can sometimes feel like exposure; it can feel risky and for some may even be seen as weakness. We will move at your pace in your self-exploration, providing space for you to show up as you are without expectation. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to guide the process with my clients. The work I ask you to do is what I also practice, and I understand how radical a concept it can be to listen internally instead of seeking advice from others. I will help you learn a new way of interacting with yourself and the world around you in an environment of support, compassion and shared humanity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5faa8f1bdd6db27357a9a415/1607379653464-2J3UL9WSH1Q4X9KLE2FJ/Stocksy_txpae8e0c44FGv200_Medium_3214844.jpg Services - Explore from the comfort of your own home. Based in San Francisco, I offer clients in California and Wisconsin 60 minutes a week to attend to themselves and their experiences. My services are offered via teletherapy, eliminating the need for a commute and allowing for you to experience change in your home environment. Our work together is guided by your needs, and if you don’t exactly know what those are, I’m here to help you find out. If you have questions or want to see if we might be a good fit, call or email me to schedule a free 15 minute consultation. https://www.ashleythompsontherapy.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-05-27 https://www.ashleythompsontherapy.com/our-approach-1 daily 0.75 2020-11-30 https://www.ashleythompsontherapy.com/about daily 0.75 2024-05-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5faa8f1bdd6db27357a9a415/1605533365628-GS4E3FP86IP28QGVNUVB/IMG_6496.jpg About - A little about me. Over the past 10 years I have helped clients gain a greater sense of internal knowing and calm, reduce feelings of overwhelm, identify and hold space for their emotions, explore beliefs they hold about themselves, their relationships and the world around them, and understand the ways in which the systems that they are a part of have shaped their sense of identity. I use Internal Family Systems therapy personally and with my clients to facilitate growth and connection and offer my clients guidance within a safe space for exploration and a collaborative approach which reaffirms them as the authority in their own lives. I also assist with with Level 1 trainings through the IFS Institute as a Program Assistant. As a therapist I have a relational style and bring my humanness, curiosity, non-judgment, compassion, experience and extensive training to each session and look forward to joining you on your journey. My hope for my clients is that they may know themselves in a way that fosters a sense of empowerment, compassion, grace and gratitude. My heart feels full when I’m connected to nature, advocating for a cause I care about, lost in a good book, listening to music or taking quiet time with myself. As a resident of San Francisco, I feel a soul connection to the ocean and redwoods and have immense gratitude for this place. I am licensed to practice as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of California (#7840) and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Wisconsin (#7244-125). https://www.ashleythompsontherapy.com/general-2 daily 0.75 2021-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg General 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg General 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg General 2 https://www.ashleythompsontherapy.com/our-approach daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://www.ashleythompsontherapy.com/services-1 daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1592257949474-24WVPWDYQ2XUALLQ3P2D/image-asset.png Services hand-drawn aim target icon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1592257884218-5M8IJDOP8N07F4IMOC4Z/image-asset.png Services hand-drawn empty pill bottle icon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1592257964989-8DUQISWFIW61SQVEJ0WJ/image-asset.png Services hand-drawn simplified needles in back acupuncture icon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1592257873663-UIEP0NPR7WLXHEWM0EJF/image-asset.png Services hand-drawn armchair icon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1591890351443-9BFPVD8JAZDMEYXJNIIQ/image-asset.jpeg Services - “I underestimated how hard it would be adjusting to working from home, but with Dr. Schell’s help, I was able to regain focus.” — OLIVIA R., CLOVE CLIENT https://www.ashleythompsontherapy.com/about-1 daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1591809300101-EYDRWIYMF88LH58RQ8TW/image-asset.jpeg About - Transforming mental healthcare We are a group of doctoral-level psychologists and psychiatrists who provide quality mental health care.
