Ashia Mann (she / her) focuses on enabling clients to effect change in their own lives. She does this by first seeking to understand their current perspectives, with an emphasis on self-acceptance.

She has worked in various mental health settings including Assertive Community Treatment as well as inpatient and outpatient. Offers: in-office, telehealth and in-community (practice dependent) therapy to adults (age 18 and above)
