Under Clinical Supervision

Ms. Ashley Simmons, Professional Counselor Intern, N/A is practicing under the supervision of Keiko Wolfe (Pennsylvania, LPC, PC007755) at Blossom Counseling and Wellness LLC.

Please, note: A clinician listed as being “clinically supervised” is completing clinical hours toward their licensure. They have one or more fully licensed clinical supervisors that often have special training to become supervisors. They consult with their supervisor(s) on all of their cases, which means that, when working with them, you are getting the time and expertise of multiple therapists in your treatment.

What would be important for someone to know about working with you?

It's important to know that working with me means you'll have a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can be yourself. I’m approachable, down-to-earth, and truly care about helping you feel heard and understood. My focus is on creating a collaborative environment where we work together to address your challenges. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, stress, identity issues, or just feeling overwhelmed, I’m here to guide you at your own pace. I also believe in practical, real-world strategies that you can apply in your daily life. Our sessions will be focused on your goals, and I’ll help you build the tools you need to feel more balanced, confident, and in control. My approach is compassionate and personalized—every step of the way, you’ll know that you have someone in your corner who genuinely wants to see you thrive.

What does success look like in therapy? How will a client know that they are making progress?

Success in therapy looks like feeling more in control, balanced, and confident in your daily life. You'll know you're making progress when you start noticing positive changes, like reduced anxiety, improved mood, or better coping with stress. You might find yourself thinking more clearly, handling challenges with greater ease, and feeling more connected to your true self. As we work together, you’ll begin to see shifts in how you respond to situations that used to overwhelm you. You may also notice a growing sense of resilience, an ability to set healthier boundaries, and a deeper understanding of your thoughts and emotions. Progress can be subtle at first, but over time, you’ll likely experience a meaningful reduction in symptoms and an increase in overall well-being. We’ll regularly check in on your goals, celebrate your achievements, and adjust our approach as needed to keep you moving forward.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Clients can expect to take away practical tools and strategies that help them navigate their daily challenges with more confidence and ease. In our sessions, you'll gain a deeper understanding of your thoughts and emotions, and learn how to manage anxiety, stress, and other difficult feelings. You'll also develop healthier coping mechanisms, improve your self-esteem, and build resilience for future challenges. Beyond just strategies, clients often leave sessions feeling heard, understood, and supported. My goal is for you to walk away with a greater sense of control over your life and a clearer path toward personal growth. Whether it's a new perspective, a coping technique, or simply feeling more empowered, you'll have something valuable to apply in your day-to-day life after each session.

Work History

In my work as a therapist, I’ve focused on helping young adults, especially college students, navigate the unique challenges they face. I’ve developed a deep understanding of issues like anxiety, stress, and identity struggles, which are common during this life stage. Through my experience, I’ve become skilled in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care, both of which allow me to offer practical tools and supportive guidance to clients. Over the years, I’ve worked closely with individuals dealing with overwhelming academic pressure, relationship issues, and the complexities of figuring out who they are. My approach has always been to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and emotions. By focusing on building resilience and confidence, I help my clients develop coping strategies that make a real difference in their daily lives. Every step of my journey has been about empowering others to overcome challenges and lead more balanced, fulfilling lives. I’m passionate about continuing this work and helping even more young adults find their way.
