I'm Ashley Cocchi, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in the state of Connecticut. My Masters degree is in Art Therapy and Counseling from The College of New Rochelle and my Bachelors is in Fine Arts from AIB in Boston. During a session with me, I typically use a strength based approach. This means that I focus my energy and time on the value that you currently present to the universe and what you are capable to doing. If your goal is to create change, my hope is to support you while presenting direction to develop new frameworks and ways of accepting reality. Since I have a strong background in Art therapy, it's something that is close to my heart. It can be incredibly powerful, so this is a speciality that I enjoy trying with patients. Other tools I utilize are DBT, CBT and Family Based Treatment. I use Family Based Treatment only with adolescent clients suffering from eating disorders as this modality is proven to be most effective in combating ED.
