LCSW, Program Director
Ashley Porter serves as Program Director at Theory & Method, bringing genuine, ethical care to every client and supervisee relationship. She works with a broad range of presentations, including ADHD, autism, OCD, trauma/PTSD, anxiety, chronic illness, mood disorders, self-esteem, and life changes, and she conducts autism and ADHD assessments.
Ashley draws from a wide clinical toolkit, including Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, CBT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Family Systems, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), the Gottman Method, ERP, and DBT. This allows her to meet clients, couples, and families exactly where they are rather than fitting them into a single framework.
Ashley works with individuals, couples 18 and up, and families, and is an affirming, experienced provider for LGBTQ+ clients. She has particular expertise supporting neurodivergent couples and clients navigating the postpartum period. Colleagues and clients alike point to her genuine care and strong ethical grounding as what sets her apart.
Clients describe Ashley's style as friendly, humorous, and supportive.
When she's not in session, Ashley can be found spending time outdoors with her family, crafting, or relaxing with her cats.
