Ashley Becker

Ashley Becker is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor practicing in Minnesota who also holds certification in rehabilitation counseling and serves as an approved Minnesota supervisor. She has eight years of experience providing therapy services and has worked in both inpatient hospital settings and outpatient community mental health centers.

She also brings eight years of experience establishing, facilitating, and maintaining group therapy sessions. Her clinical background includes working with serious and persistent mental illness and other SMI diagnoses such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance use disorders.

Ashley practices from a person-centered perspective, preferring to accompany clients on their journey rather than direct it.

She believes in making room for levity when appropriate, and may include humor or light moments as part of the therapeutic experience.

Her clinical approach incorporates motivational interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, illness management and recovery, trauma-informed care, IDDT/trans-theoretical model, and multi-cultural counseling. Ashley is passionate about overcoming stigma and stereotypes related to mental illness and looks forward to working with people who are ready to engage in change.
