Ashley Arriola, LPC-MHSP, PMH-C
Co-CEO & Licensed Therapist
*Currently accepting perinatal clients*
I am passionate about helping folks heal and navigate through their current situations. As a mom and survivor of postpartum depression and anxiety, I know first-hand how difficult the perinatal phase of life can be. It is my honor to walk alongside individuals navigating the many challenges surrounding pregnancy and parenthood in hopes of making this phase of life easier to navigate.
One of my favorite quotes is this one from Brené Brown: “Vulnerability is not winning or losing. It’s having the courage to show up when you can’t control the outcome.”
It is my goal to create a safe space for my clients to be vulnerable and to help you find your voice and empower you to love yourself throughout your journey.

"It is my hope that I can assist you on your journey toward peace and acceptance of the you that you were born to be. My clinical areas of focus are: individuals struggling with depression, trauma, anxiety, intense emotional responses, and self-esteem/acceptance."
Sydney Basler, MS, MBA
CFO & Pre-licensed Therapist
*Currently accepting clients ages 3 and up*
"Life's challenges and relational conflict can often leave us feeling weighed down or stuck. It can be overwhelming to navigate these issues on your own, so my goal is to walk with you and help you find tools that help you navigate these challenges. My hope is to create a space where you feel empowered to know that you have the tools to begin to navigate these challenges."

"I believe that everyone is the expert of their own experience and that we all have strengths that can be leveraged to move us towards our goals. I utilize a client-centered, strengths-focused, and holistic approach in which care is individualized to the strengths, needs, and preferences of the client. I aim to provide a safe and supportive environment in which clients can speak openly and feel not only heard, but understood. I also seek to help clients to feel empowered by their strengths and identity to make positive change and meet their goals."
