Ashley Hale Duff, Therapist
Ashley is a Licensed Professional Counselor. As a native Tennessean, she earned both her Bachelor’s of Psychology and Master’s of Community Counseling from the University of Tennessee. Her professor once said, “Play is a child’s most natural language.” That phrase, along with her love of the children, solidified Ashley’s career path. A job opportunity called her to Texas where she fell in love with breakfast tacos, blue bonnets and wide open spaces. She worked at an inpatient psychiatric hospital that exposed her to a variety of clinical diagnoses in the child and adolescent population. This showed her the need for a practice where the mode of therapy is not a “one size fits all approach.”
Ashley believes the mode of therapy should be carefully chosen depending on the client and their needs. Her work at LifeStance is an “eclectic” mixture of therapies that includes expressive therapies such as art/music/play, narrative therapy, reality therapy, and CBT to name a few. Ashley specializes in treatment of ages 3 to 17. She strongly believes in the resilience of children and in their ability to grow and adapt given the opportunity and the tools needed to do so.
