Ashley Cerda
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
Our mission is to provide a personalized therapeutic experience that helps people grow and love with their best and most Curated Health in mind.
We believe in thinking differently about mental health. By curating unique plans for each client, we help empower individuals to take the lead on their journey to positive mental health. We believe that mental health can thrive when individuals are in a safe space that allows them to take steps forward and actively participate in the healing process. We want to fill a gap in the community of quality, consistent, progressive mental healthcare. We are building a sanctuary where therapists have the autonomy to curate care for each client, ensuring the best path forward on their journey for mental health.
