background


Patti Ashley, Ph.D.
Licensed Professional Counselor

Hello and welcome to my website. I am a psychotherapist and life mentor in Boulder, Colorado. I offer individual, family, and group therapies. My approach combines strength-based, cognitive and transpersonal psychotherapies.

  • Strength-based psychotherapy sees the positive qualities in every human being. It honors and upholds every individual's abundant truth.

  • Cognitive psychotherapy helps clients to change thoughts around situations that may be causing them pain. Finding the false evidence surrounding fear can often transform anxiety into trust and acceptance.

  • Transpersonal psychotherapy accesses higher dimensions of human consciousness. Using dream analysis, mandalas, guided imagery, meditation, poetry, stories and intuition, deeper levels of Self are acknowledged and empowered.
I believe it is the inborn nature of all beings to thrive, not meerly survive. I am particularly interested in the experiences of woman as mothers and as keepers of the life force. The intention of my work is to provide a safe space for growth and transformation.

I would love to hear from you. E-mail me at pashleyphd@aol.com.
