Ashley hughes, LMsw

I have committed myself to social justice advocacy, recognizing the significant effects that organizational structures and cultural contexts can have on the health and well-being of individuals. I strive to be open and inclusive.

I can take Blue Cross Blue Shield, Blue Care Network, and Blue Cross Complete insurances, or I can do private pay.

Hi, I’m Ashley! I am the owner of Dahlia Counseling Services and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I completed my Masters in Social Work at the University of Michigan in 2018, and have been working as an individual therapist ever since.

My clients tend to be young adults and adolescents, and usually women or non-binary individuals. I utilize a heartfelt, collaborative approach to find the tools that best fit the individual and to focus on areas you would like to focus on. Together, we will explore your emotions, strengths, and values, work on areas you would like to focus on, and use new skills to handle life's obstacles with confidence.

Specialties:

  • OCD

  • Anxiety

  • Phobias

  • Panic Disorders

  • Life Transitions

  • Self-Esteem

  • Communication and Assertiveness

  • Relationship Concerns

These areas may involve us working on coping skills, mindfulness, interpersonal and problem solving skills, and becoming more empowered and comfortable with different emotions to understand and accept oneself better overall. I often use use ERP (exposure therapy), CBT, ACT or a mix of modalities with my clients, which we decide together based on their needs.
