Ashley sits on a brown chair, leaning against an arm rest, with her head resting against her left hand. Her right hand is draped over her lap. She smiles widely toward the camera.

Welcome, I’m Ashley Abert.

I’m the founder of Stable Soul PLLC, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina, and a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina.

My own personal growth and experience with therapy led me to take a leap and pursue my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Colorado Christian University in 2015.

I also have a Bachelor of Science degree from Winthrop University, where I majored in Special Education, and I’ve spent 13 years total working with students with learning disabilities, Autism, and ADHD.

I am now fully licensed as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina — and I founded Stable Soul PLLC to provide online therapy in both states.

I have training in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing therapy for trauma (big and small), Internal Family Systems therapy (where all “parts” of you are welcome!), and Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (though I’m not quite the horse whisperer… yet).

In my free time I love dreaming up the next big project for our home in the country, looking to rescue another animal I don’t actually need, or riding four wheelers with my adventurous five year old. My husband and I love to travel and explore new small towns and new big countries!

I’m on my own journey, so I know how scary and discouraging it can be at times, but I can assure you that change (and celebration!) is possible if you commit to yourself and find the right support to walk alongside you.

So what do you say? Are you ready to take your first step toward therapy?
