Ashwini Krishnakumar, MA, LCPC

Ashwini is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor providing psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Ashwini is passionate about working with diverse cultural backgrounds, all sexual orientations and gender, and advocating for clients. She practices integrative treatment pulling from Humanistic, Systems, Gestalt Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while incorporating expressive therapy techniques. 

Ashwini believes you are your own expert; therefore, she works in a collaborative, encouraging, and compassionate effort to create custom goals for healthier relationships and lifestyles. Ashwini values counseling because it is important to have a space to feel safe and be your authentic self to process and work through interpersonal and intrapersonal struggles.

Sometimes we have emotional wounds that have not healed properly, and these wounds unbalance our mind, body, and spirit. Counseling helps clean out these emotional wounds, so they can heal properly while helping the mind, body, and spirit rebalance. It takes practice being vulnerable with others and counseling is a wonderful place to practice. I am honored and look forward to being a part of your healing process.
