About Me
Dr. Ashley Conner
I aim to help you gain comfort in your own skin, understand your life experiences, and make mindful, positive movement toward your life goals.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist (PSY33809) who specializes in the treatment of chronic emotion dysregulation, interpersonal ineffectiveness, addiction, and trauma. I work with people who experience emotions intensely and also those who have difficulties in their relationships with others, and themselves. I show up in our relationship with intention to deeply understand your suffering and help you get unstuck from whatever is keeping you there. My life experience and intensive clinical training by world-renowned experts guide my therapeutic work.

Dear Provider, I understand the importance of collaborative, coordinated care across and within disciplines. My therapy services can function as a supplement to your ongoing treatment with your client or patient. I often work among treatment teams to address chronic emotion dysregulation and interpersonal ineffectiveness, that may derive from trauma histories.
What I Value in Life and Our Relationship
Curiosity
Intrigue to investigate patterns that keep you stuck, with an open mind and non-judgmental stance.
Authenticity
Willingness to show up as your are so we can take you to where you want to go and how you want to show up in your life and relationships. Obtaining and maintaining a value-directed life in alignment of your inner wisdom.
Vulnerability
Openness and willingness to dig into the depths. Practicing radical honestly with your true experience. Challenging yourself to try, or imagine, new ways of responding to life circumstances.
Collaboration
Jumping into and navigating through this process together. Willingness to give and receive feedback.
Getting Started
I look forward to making a connection and beginning the journey together
