Ashley Murphy
(She/Her/Hers)
Psychologist
My therapeutic approach is warm, authentic, and integrative, adapting to your needs and goals. I respect your unique lived experiences and stories.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist and help with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, first-generation college student concerns, identity development, intergenerational family concerns, grief and loss, life transitions, self-compassion, substance use, and suicidal ideation. I also work with members of the LGBTQIA+ community and provide gender-affirming mental health care. My approach to therapy is grounded in humility and respect for each person’s unique lived experiences and story, multiple and intersecting identities, relationships to self and others, and the systemic and socio-cultural factors impacting individual wellness. I bring warmth, authenticity, and humor with an integrative approach that adapts to your needs and goals. Outside work, I spend time with my loved ones and two doggies, gardening, and doing anything related to music – dancing, karaoke, and local metal and punk shows.
