You don't have to feel the way you are feeling forever. You have tried a number of different things and things aren’t working. You're not sure where to start but feel that doing it alone seems impossible and daunting. The individual I typically see feels stuck and wants to make the necessary changes to improve their communication for self and others, build their self-esteem and confidence, process emotions, and recover. Therapy provides a nonjudgmental space to work through life's hardships and stressors. Change can be very difficult however so is staying in the same place.

Hi! Welcome to my page. I appreciate you for stopping by! My name is Ashley Waddington and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Supervisor (LPC-S) in the state of South Carolina.

I have a wide range of experiences to include inpatient rehabilitation facilities, psychiatric hospitals, state Vocational Rehabilitation, college counseling, and private practice. I specialize in working with adults with a variety of challenges using creativity, optimism, empowerment, active listening, and solution-focused skills. It’s important to me to meet you exactly where you are and have a relationship with you built on trust, compassion, and honesty.

The focus of my training in therapy has been around Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), trauma-informed care, somatic experiencing and getting back in touch with your body, trauma-informed yoga, and grief and loss. It’s important to me to offer choice in the clients I work with and provide them a safe place to recover and move forward from chronic negative thinking and adverse experiences.

I would love to travel this journey with you. Please get in touch with me to set up a free 20 minute phone consultation to make sure we are an appropriate match for services. The best phone number to reach me is 803-200-1034.
