Ashley McGee

Ashley is a dedicated masters level therapist and doctoral intern currently pursuing her PhD in Counselor Education and Practice at Georgia State University. A North Carolina native, she earned her bachelor's degree in psychology from Western Carolina University and a master's degree in School-Based Clinical Counseling from the University of San Diego. Ashley has a diverse background in supporting children, adolescents, and families, having worked in alternative schools focused on mental health. Throughout her professional journey, Ashley has been committed to addressing the mental health needs of her clients, particularly those facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. Her therapeutic approach is primarily grounded in solution-focused counseling, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). She is dedicated to creating a safe and empathetic environment where clients can explore their emotions and develop effective coping strategies. Ashley primarily works with children and adolescents, offering tailored therapeutic interventions to meet each client's unique needs. She understands the importance of involving parents and guardians in the therapeutic process and works closely with them to develop strategies that enhance the support their children receive. She believes that empowering parents with effective tools and strategies is essential to fostering strong, positive relationships and promoting overall family health. Ashley is currently completing her practicum with Root and Blossom as part of her doctoral training. To make therapy more accessible, Ashley offers sessions at a reduced rate of $100 per session during her internship. This reduced rate allows clients to benefit from her expertise while she gains valuable hands-on experience under the supervision of our licensed professionals. We believe this arrangement provides a unique opportunity for high-quality, affordable care.
