Call (863) 510-2624Ashley brings something uncommon to the therapy room: a genuine understanding of the connection between body and mind that goes beyond clinical theory. Ashley Huston
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - an evidence-based, structured protocol endorsed by the American Psychological Association, Department of Veterans Affairs, and World Health Organization that helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they stop driving present-day pain. Ashley now offers EMDR as part of her integrative mind-body approach at our Lakeland office.
Sessions at Ashley's reduced rate under licensed clinical supervision at Ascend Mind and Body Lakeland.
Ashley Huston is completing her graduate clinical training in counseling at Northwestern while building her practice at Ascend's Lakeland office. What makes her approach distinct is the integration of mind-body techniques - including yoga-informed practices and meditation - into an otherwise evidence-based therapeutic framework.
This is not about replacing clinical therapy with wellness trends. Ashley uses somatic awareness and breathwork as tools within the therapeutic process, helping clients who are stuck in cognitive loops or disconnected from their own physical experience find a way back in. For clients with ADHD, this body-based approach can be especially grounding - literally providing a physical anchor when the mind is racing.
Ashley's eclectic therapeutic orientation means she draws from multiple modalities depending on what a particular client needs. For someone with borderline personality features (BPD), that might mean DBT-informed skills alongside mindfulness practices. For someone with chronic anxiety, it might mean combining cognitive restructuring with guided meditation. She adapts the approach to the person, not the other way around.
Ashley now also offers EMDR therapy - an evidence-based, 8-phase protocol that helps the nervous system reprocess traumatic memories so they stop driving present-day symptoms. Because EMDR does not require clients to narrate events in detail, it pairs naturally with her somatic, body-aware framework. It expands what she can offer to clients carrying PTSD, single-incident trauma, grief, and the emotional residue of painful experiences that talk therapy alone has not fully resolved.
Under the supervision of Ascend's licensed clinical team, Ashley offers sessions at a reduced fee, making her mind-body approach - now including EMDR - accessible to clients who value this kind of integrative work but cannot afford the rates that holistic-branded private practices typically charge.
