Therapy for the anxious, burnt out, and disillusioned

Ashley Vaduva

Licensed Professional Counselor

Are you:

Deconstructing your faith and need help working through the fallout?

Trying to find a therapist for your kid but keep hitting a wall?

Tired of feeling like your anxiety is in the drivers seat of your life?

Grieving the loss of someone or something important to you?

Feeling like the world is falling apart and need to talk to someone about it?

For the anxious, burnt out, and disillusioned - let's work together to get you well.

You can do this.

Driven by my love for this work and my deep belief in your strength to heal and grow.

You deserve therapy that puts you in charge - not your insurance company. You are more than a diagnosis code.

I specialize in faith deconstruction, religious trauma, “church hurt,” children & parenting, anxiety, grief, and perinatal & postpartum support, and am an LGBTQIA+ ally. Together we can come up with a plan that supports your values, aligns with your priorities, and works toward the goals you want to achieve.

With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I integrate evidence-based techniques with  mindfulness and embodiment practices to create a space for you to work through your struggles and challenges. My goal is to empower you by providing the tools and support needed to navigate emotions, improve relationships, cultivate resilience, and become the person you know deep down you want to be. Whether you are anxious, overwhelmed, at your wit’s end, or just plain “over it,” I am here to help you every step of the way.

I am based in Ann Arbor, MI, but am able to provide virtual services anywhere in the state of Michigan. I am also licensed to practice in the state of Virginia.

Here’s a bit of what I can do for you:

  • Deconstruction, Faith Transitions & Spiritual Trauma

    Religion, faith and spiritual communities are often parts of us that are held dearly. When something happens to shake those beliefs and belonging, it can be very disorienting, and even life altering.

    Your experience is real, and it’s important to talk about.

    Whether you are deconstructing, embracing the exvangelical label, or looking to pursue a genuine faith that aligns with who you are, therapy can provide a neutral space for you to unpack your experiences, and contend with your beliefs and spiritual identities. Together we can explore your doubts, emotions, and values, and help you navigate the complexities of shifting established beliefs. The path forward is different for everyone, but you don’t have to go through it alone.

  • Parenting Therapy

    Trying to find help for your kids but hitting a wall? Why parenting therapy instead of child therapy? While finding a therapist for your child might be what you're looking for - consider finding a therapist for yourself instead.

    Imagine creating a relationship with your child in which YOU are their source of peace, trust and support. Don't outsource that role to someone else.

    I want to help your kids by helping you. I want you to be the one your kid confides in. I want you to know how to help them in moments that feel overwhelming and impossible. Together we can explore the parent/child relationship, try to understand where your parenting values and priorities come from, and help you craft the kind of relationship you want to have with your child.

  • Therapy for Anxiety

    I often refer to anxiety as the ‘common cold’ of mental health. Everyone gets it, but can experience it in varying intensities. Anxiety is one of the most well-researched mental health challenges, and there is strong evidence for how to best treat it. Therapy for anxiety integrates evidence-based techniques and mindfulness practices with an understanding of each client’s unique experience. Together we will learn about how your brain and body experience anxiety, develop coping strategies, and challenge thought patterns to put you in charge of your anxiety.

  • Speaking & Presentations

    As a licensed therapist and speaker, I don’t just talk about mental health — I discuss and present it in a way that’s relatable, engaging, and actionable. Whether you're hosting a corporate event, school seminar, or community workshop, I use my expertise as a therapist to create presentations that are practical and leave groups informed, empowered, and ready to take meaningful steps toward better mental well-being.

    From burnout, anxiety and stress management to parenting, faith deconstruction, and grief, I tailor every talk to your group’s needs — blending my professional expertise with real-world tools your group can actually use. If you're looking to encourage meaningful discussion and prioritize mental health in a way that is relatable and practical, let’s work together to bring that goal to fruition.

  • Prenatal & Postpartum Therapy

    Prenatal and Postpartum therapy recognizes the unique transitions, conflicting feelings, and difficult thought patterns that expectant and new parents experience. Therapy provides a safe space to explore the wide variety of joys, struggles, grief, and anxieties of the perinatal and postpartum period. We can help alleviate feelings of isolation, anxiety and depression, and help caregivers be empowered to embrace their roles with confidence and wholeness.

  • Therapy in Nature Pop-Ups

    Therapy in Nature Pop-Ups are your typical therapy session, but outside in nature. This could mean finding a place to sit and be still or finding a trail to walk during your session. The sensory experiences of fresh air, natural light, and the sounds of nature can reduce anxiety and stress, while physical activities like walking or hiking can release endorphins, boosting mood. The experience of being outside during a therapy session lets us incorporate nature in a way that can feel really meaningful and therapeutic.

    Intake sessions, or an appointment in the last 3 months are required before being eligible for these visits.

  • Grief Therapy

    Grief is a long, overwhelming, and complicated journey. Therapy for grieving clients offers a space where clients can unpack their emotions, feel their sorrow, and imagine what life might look like going forward. Grief must be felt and experienced at a unique pace. During therapy, we can find solace in sharing stories, learning ways to cope, and rediscovering joy and life amidst heartache. Therapy for grief offers not only a support system, but also the reminder that even in the darkest of moments, there is a path toward healing and embracing life once again.

  • Group Therapy

    Group therapy is a really unique and collaborative approach to therapy. ​​Participants gain more than just guidance from a licensed therapist — they also gain insight from one another. In group therapy, you can find solidarity in your struggles, learn new ways of coping, and build confidence through shared experience. 

    Group therapy is offered on a rolling basis - when there are enough participants ready to start, a new group will launch. If you’re interested in being part of group therapy, fill out the Group Therapy Interest Form, and I’ll be in touch.

  • 15 Minute Check-Ins

    15 Minute Check-Ins are for those who want a quick moment each week to decompress and refocus their mind and bodies. Generally, you feel like you’re doing ok, but you think it would be nice to have a quick and consistent check in.

    Intake sessions, or an appointment in the last 3 months are required before being eligible for these visits.

  • General Mental Health Services

    For clients who know something needs to change, but don't know what that means for them yet. Mental Health intakes are offered to help clients gain an understanding of what they are experiencing, and what treatment options are available to them.

  • In-Office Therapy Contracting

    Offering free therapy sessions to your employees during the workday can be a valuable investment in their mental health and well-being. By providing access to professional therapy services, you can help your employees manage stress, improve mental clarity, and enhance overall job satisfaction. Free therapy sessions for employees can be offered in a variety of formats, such as individual counseling, group therapy, or workshops on specific mental health topics. By making therapy accessible and convenient in the workplace, employers can demonstrate their commitment to supporting employees’ mental health needs and foster a culture of openness and care.
