Ashley Brooks, PhD, LPC-S
Executive Director & Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor

Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

​

Whether you're navigating trauma, wrestling with anxiety, seeking clarity in your relationships, or simply longing for a more grounded and whole version of yourself, I want you to know that healing is possible—and you don’t have to walk that road alone.

 

As a licensed counselor and the founder of Restoration, I bring both clinical training and a deep sense of calling into the therapy space. My work is shaped by the belief that healing happens in the context of connection—with ourselves, with others, and with God. I approach each session with curiosity, compassion, and a commitment to honor your unique story.

I draw from several trauma-informed models to support the healing process, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Story-Informed Trauma Therapy (SITT). These approaches provide practical tools for addressing emotional wounds, attachment patterns, and trauma stored in the body. Each of these is integrated through the lens of the Soul Change Model—a framework that goes beyond symptom relief to engage the deeper beliefs, longings, and spiritual realities that shape our lives.

 

While I specialize in clinical counseling, I also work with individuals who may not meet criteria for a diagnosis but who are ready to invest in their personal or spiritual growth. If you're feeling stuck, seeking change, or simply wanting more out of life, I offer a coaching-based approach to help you move forward with clarity and intention.

​

In our work together, we’ll pay attention to both symptoms and meaning, pain and possibility. There’s no rush, no judgment—just a sacred space to be honest, to wrestle, and to heal.

 

If you're ready to begin or simply curious about what therapy or coaching might look like, I’d be honored to walk with you.

About Ashley

I am an outgoing introvert. I deeply enjoy spending time with my close friends and family, but if I were to be honest, my ideal day would be spent curled up by a fireplace with a cup of coffee (more cream and sugar than coffee) and a great book. I delight in spending time with my two daughters and son, who are my favorite little people in the whole world. My husband is my pride and joy. We have been married for over 21 years and each year gets better and better. He is my best friend and the recipient of my highest respect and deepest love. My favorite past times are reading, watching romantic comedies, crocheting, and grabbing dinner with my girl friends. My favorite part of the day is the cup of coffee I have with the Lord each morning. The forgiveness, encouragement, love, truth and acceptance I receive from Him infuses my day with peace and stability I would not otherwise have.
