Hello! My name is Ashley Reid. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland and a Registered Art Therapist who has been practicing since 2018. I have a Master’s in Art Therapy with a Specialization in Counseling from Seton Hill University.

My approach to therapy is eclectic and creative with an emphasis on person-centered therapy. I incorporate techniques from trauma-informed practices, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), compassion-based therapy, and mindfulness as well as other therapeutic approaches. I will do my best to meet your unique therapeutic goals.

I strongly believe successful therapy relies on a high-quality relationship between the client and therapist. My initial goal is to build a trusting and supportive connection with you. We will work together to explore your inner artist and how art making can be a therapeutic tool for you.

My favorite part of being a therapist is to witness the client’s process, whether it be artmaking or talk therapy. I value process over product, simply meaning that being present in the moment is the work, not the finished art product or “homework.”

Outside of work, I cosplay and sell art at anime conventions, dance in my living room, and travel as much as I can. I enjoy walking in nature, playing video games, and spending time with family and friends. I look forward to working with you!
