Ashley Maurer is a licensed clinical social worker who graduated with her Masters degree in Social Work from Indiana University in 2014. Over the last decade and half, Ashley has dedicated her career helping others explore their personal strengths, advocating for their needs, and working through every day challenges to enable success. She specializes in working with children, pre-teens, teenagers, and adults. Ashley has a passion working with people who want to process and heal from trauma. She often works with people who grew up in dysfunctional families that experienced abuse and neglect within these dynamics. These deep rooted experiences usually lead to secondary issues like experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, addictions, co-dependency, and insecure attachments. In addition to working through trauma these secondary issues are also addressed. Ashley also has experience with providing parental support, adolescent issues, new life adjustments, and other emotional areas. If recommended, she can offer play therapy techniques for children and teens in her counseling sessions as she is currently working towards becoming a registered play therapist. Ashley's approach is to build meaningful and trusting relationships with clients and assist them with creating healthy changes in a safe and empowering way. She believes therapy should be client centered and solution focused in order to move towards progress. Working together to get to the root cause of the issue will help with moving forward towards healing.
