Meet Ashley Meyer, LPC, RPT - Empowering Children and Teens to Heal, Grow, and Thrive

Hi, I’m Ashley Meyer, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Registered Play Therapist (RPT) with over 11 years of experience helping children and adolescents overcome challenges, build resilience, and reach their fullest potential. I believe that every child is capable of growth when given the right tools, encouragement, and a safe space to express themselves.

Whether your child is experiencing anxiety, depression, behavioral difficulties, trauma, or struggling with school or peer relationships, I offer a warm, supportive environment where they can feel heard, understood, and empowered. My approach blends creativity, compassion, and evidence-based techniques to support your child in learning how to cope, connect, and thrive.
