I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have a dual Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling. I see therapy as an opportunity to help people become more connected to themselves, so they can connect more authentically to others. I work from a wholistic viewpoint and incorporate elements of wellness, mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral therapy in therapy sessions. I am deeply committed to promoting an environment that affirms the dignity, worth and value of all individuals. I strive to create an atmosphere of respect and appreciation for the race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, national origin, age, ancestry, physical/mental ability, sexual orientation, size and appearance, marital status, parental status, gender identity, gender expression and socioeconomic status of all persons. My goal is to meet people where they are and create a safe space of openness, trust and respect where diverse attitudes, beliefs, values, and behaviors can be freely explored and discussed. ❖ ❖ ❖ SCHEDULING DETAILS ❖ ❖ ❖ New Clients → Request an appointment by filling out the contact form above or email me at: anstraka@ashliestraka.com Current Clients → You can access my online calendar via the Client Portal.
