Dr. Ashley Carreras

Licensed Psychologist

I’ve struggled with anxiety myself and have been in therapy in the past. That experience really changed my life. For the first time, I felt truly understood and supported in a way I hadn’t before. Therapy helped me see myself and the world differently. It gave me tools, perspective, and a deeper sense of confidence. My own therapist had such a meaningful impact on me that it inspired me to become a psychologist. I know how powerful it is to sit across from someone who genuinely gets you. I hope to offer other women that same kind of space one where they feel safe, understood, and able to grow in ways they might not have thought were possible.

I show up as myself in the therapy room. That means I’m warm, engaged, and (I like to think) pretty funny. I can be a little sassy at times in a loving way, and I believe therapy can be both deep and human. I’m not a blank-slate therapist who just stares, nods, and says, “How does that make you feel?” I’m active, real, and present. I’ll sit with you in the hard moments, but I’ll also challenge you, laugh with you, and help you see things from new angles.
