Ashley Chambers, LPC

Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and understood. That is true in life and therapy, and Ashley Chambers works tirelessly to create that environment for every client she sees. Ashley started her career working in a shelter for runaway and homeless youth, creating a supportive environment as they navigated times of transition and hardship. Her work evolved to include community-based and school-based support, and over the years, she has developed an accessible, trauma-informed approach to counseling. No matter who visits her office, Ashley practices a client-centered approach to counseling that is inviting, comforting, and puts clients at ease.

Ashley works with clients of any age or background with a focus on youth and young adults as they navigate life transitions. She takes special care to create an environment that is affirming and empowering for all who work with her. Ashley works with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns, including:

Depression
Anxiety
Family dynamics
Self-injury/self-harm
Healthy relationships
Gender and sexuality
Life transitions
Behavioral concerns
Body image and self-esteem
Trauma
Parenting

Ashley’s approach to therapy is built on person-centered, humanistic, motivational interviewing, play-based, and cognitive behavioral therapy approaches. She takes special care to understand the individual and how they are impacted by family and social systems while empowering them to effectively advocate for themselves. She wants all clients to come as they are and strives to create an environment of warmth and safety that allows clients to feel at ease sharing anything they would like to work through.

Ashley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master’s Degree in Counseling from Lindenwood University. When she isn’t providing therapy to clients, she lives in O’Fallon with her husband, Ben, and sons, Elliot and Carson.
