Welcome – you’ve taken an incredible first step. Whether you’re here through a friend’s recommendation, a flyer you noticed, or your own online search, I want you to know this: you’re in the right place. Reaching out for support with your mental health and wellness takes courage, and you’re showing up for yourself in a powerful way.
This space is all about your journey to well-being. Together, we’ll work toward greater mental clarity, resilience, and the emotional support you deserve. My name is Ashley Clifton, and I’m here as your guide on this path. As a holistic wellness practitioner and a current Clinical Mental Health Counseling intern therapist, I’m committed to offering you compassionate, tailored support through every step.
Accessible, professional care shouldn’t come with a financial barrier, which is why I offer one-hour telehealth counseling sessions through Catalyst Counseling for Arkansas residents free of charge. From wherever you are, we can meet online for a safe, meaningful session that fits into your life and supports your goals.
So take a breath – you’re here for a reason, and a brighter, healthier future is within reach. I’m ready when you are.
Please note: Therapy appointments will resume on January 21st. Established clients and new, prospective clients can schedule appointments directly via the button below.
HEALING BEGINS WITH A CONVERSATION
You deserve a compassionate, affirming space to explore and nurture your mental health. Here, you’ll find support that’s truly tailored to your journey, no matter where you are or what you're navigating. I work especially with LGBTQIA+ individuals, including those exploring or questioning their gender or sexual identity; survivors of sexual abuse or domestic violence; women, non-binary, gender-fluid, and trans individuals; neurodivergent individuals; those with chronic illness or pain; anyone dealing with religious trauma and deconstruction; and those experiencing pet loss or anticipatory grief. If you’re also looking for a fat-affirming, body-positive counselor to break through the impacts of diet culture, you’re in the right place.
My approach centers around you. It’s trauma-informed, person-centered, culturally sensitive, and Health At Every Size (HAES)-aligned. You’ll find that I honor your unique experiences, meeting you exactly where you are and supporting your path toward resilience and empowerment. Whether you’re moving through life transitions, developing coping skills, or seeking guidance to foster a deeper self-connection, I’m here to help you discover healing and strength.
P.S. Beyond counseling and therapy, I offer holistic wellness services that are 100% accessible via telehealth, too. Whether your journey involves therapy, holistic care, or both, this space is here to support your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. It's an honor to help you in any capacity whatsoever.
NOW ACCEPTING NEW THERAPY CLIENTS
I’m excited to share that I’ll be resuming my counseling internship with Catalyst Counseling on January 21st, and I’m now accepting new clients! I currently have room in my caseload for approximately four to five new clients, and sessions will remain completely free of charge through mid-May, when my internship concludes.
If you’re ready to begin therapy, I’d love to learn more about your needs and goals to see if we’re a good fit. Spaces are limited, so don’t hesitate to reach out and secure your spot.
Thank you for considering me as a partner in your journey. I look forward to the possibility of working together and supporting you in creating a life of balance and well-being. You’ve taken an important step just by being here, and I’m here to walk with you.
HELLO! It's me, Ashley.
