Cooke, Ashley

Since graduating with a master’s in social work from Saint Louis University, I have been providing clinical services to children, adults, families, and groups in a variety of settings. I have had the opportunity to work with clients struggling with a variety of behavioral, emotional, and mental health challenges, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, interpersonal issues, and general life stresses. Over the years, I have been fortunate to see firsthand the powerful role that therapy can play in helping people to better understand themselves and those around them. For this powerful change to take place, I believe that therapy should be a safe place where people can express and process their thoughts and feelings. I make every effort to ensure my clients are met with empathy, authenticity, and unconditional acceptance. In order to help clients reach their goals, I utilize a client-centered, trauma-informed approach to therapeutic care. I also integrate components of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into my work with my clients.

I chose to become a licensed clinical social worker because being connected to my community and challenging societal injustices are both central to my value system. I enjoy supporting the holistic wellness of those I serve, as well as assisting folks in better understanding their environment and how this plays a role in their mental health. I love helping individuals reconstruct their views of their problem areas to observe them as opportunities for growth, healing, and continued consciousness. My philosophy of patient care centers on the individual being the expert of themselves, and I approach care from a strength and solution-based perspective. My areas of special interest are adolescent mental health, anxiety and depression, LGBTQ+ populations and use of mindfulness and movement as part of treatment. Outside of work I enjoy cooking, stand up paddle boarding, being outside, and traveling whenever I can.
