Ashley Henslee
Clinician
Clinical Social Worker Candidate
Everyone else may see how strong you are, but you see all the ways you’re not enough.
You’re hardworking. Resilient. The person who pushes through, figures things out, and doesn’t give up easily. But underneath that strength, you may be carrying a very different story about yourself.
I’m not enough.
Something is wrong with me.
I don’t matter as much as everyone else.
Maybe I’m just broken.
Therapy doesn’t have to be another place where you’re expected to be strong.
Ashley works especially well with people who have spent so much time surviving, pushing through, or caring for others that they’ve lost sight of their own worth. Her approach is gentle, genuine, supportive, and strengths-based. Rather than focusing only on what’s “wrong,” she helps you recognize the resilience and strength that may be difficult to see in yourself right now.
There’s no rigid formula for therapy with Ashley. She meets you where you are and adapts sessions to what you need that day. Depending on what feels right for you, that might include talking, art or creative activities, music, games, or other approaches that help you express and understand what you’re experiencing.
Ashley won’t walk ahead of you and tell you who you should become. She’ll walk beside you as you begin to see yourself differently, reconnect with the parts of yourself that have gotten lost along the way, and create a story that feels more like your own. You don’t have to have it all together here.

How I Work:
I am a Clinical Social Worker Candidate and I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology in 2009. I have worked in the social work realm in various positions and capacities providing supportive, therapeutic, trauma-informed, and evidence-based practices such as resiliency, solution-focused, creativity through art and expression, and strength-based. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, going kayaking in the summer, crocheting, scenic photography, reading, exploring new things, mountain drives, and being outdoors.
I am a Pueblo Native and I have always had a passion for helping people and walking alongside them through their journey. As I hear my client’s life stories, I take an integrative and eclectic approach that is holistic of mind, body, and spirit and help my clients to heal, grow, and learn. Trauma can happen in the context of relationships and therefore can be healed in the context of relationships. I look forward to meeting you and working alongside you through your journey.
