Ashley Boren

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I received my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Azusa Pacific University and Bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a minor in Communication Studies from Cal State Long Beach. The practice of psychotherapy always intrigued me and from a young age and I often found myself advocating to break the stigma concerning therapy. I knew I wanted to help others who struggled to find their voice in a world where they are often silenced. Growing up in a culturally diverse population taught me how everyone experiences life uniquely, and that there is no one size fits all when it comes to the care that they need. I take pride in my ability to attune to my clients and meet their needs while respecting where they are at in their journey. My approach to therapy stems from a post-modern psychoanalytic and person-centered approach. I prioritize taking time to learn about my client’s presenting problems as well as their history to ensure their success in counseling process. I recognize therapy can be an intimidating process to start, which is why I use a person-centered approach that focuses on creating a safe space for each and every client.
