Dr. Ashley Ward-Hines,
LPC-Supervisor
Founder, Clinical Supervisor,
& Licensed Professional Counselor
Hi! I’m Dr. Ashley Ward-Hines, a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor and the founder of Becoming You Counseling and Trauma Services. I want to personally welcome you to a space built on safety, support, and transformation.
With over 17 years of experience in the mental health field, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals and families navigating depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and bipolar disorder. My goal is to help you rediscover your strengths and move through life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
I’m certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). In addition, I’ve completed advanced training in Guiding Women Through Postpartum Depression, Perinatal Loss & Grief, and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). I use these approaches within a collaborative, relational framework that honors your story and empowers your healing journey.
As a clinical supervisor, I’m also passionate about mentoring emerging counselors and nurturing a practice rooted in integrity, inclusion, and hope. I want to work with you to help you overcome those difficult situations to improve your quality of life.
Welcome! I am Priscilla McLemore, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a passion for helping people find healing and new hope. My journey as a therapist began in 2009, and I have since become trained in Attachment-Focused EMDR and Cognitive Processing Therapy. I am committed to working from a person-centered and trauma-informed approach, where you will discover how the stories you tell yourself alter how you see the world around you.
I believe that you are the expert in your own life. In our sessions, you'll find a compassionate and safe space where you feel truly heard, seen, and understood. We'll work together to explore how your past might be affecting your present and equip you with the tools to create a brighter future.
I'm here to walk alongside you. My goal is to listen to understand, until you feel deeply validated and empowered to take the next step in your mental health journey. Healing is possible, and it starts with a single step.
When you're ready, I'm ready! I look forward to hearing from you.
