Hey! It's Ashley. Let’s get you aligned and thriving so that you and/or your loved one(s) can live a purposeful and fulfilled life!

Wholistic Alignment Therapeutic Wellness Center was established with you in mind.

As a passionate advocate for child and adolescent mental health, women’s empowerment, wholistic wellness, and expansion on all levels, I’m committed to guiding you on a transformative journey toward healthy living where your mind, body, and spirit align for lasting success.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Supervisor (LCSW-S), Registered Play Therapist™ (RPT™), EMDRIA Certified Therapist™, Nationally Certified School Social Worker™, Licensed Wholistic Therapist, and Certified Clinical Coach with over 10 years of experience, I specialize in empowering Black women, young adults, youth, and families to embrace whole-person care while navigating life’s challenges.
My approach is simple, yet deeply impactful:

Regulate your nervous system.
Reconnect with yourself.
Realign with the life you actually want.

I believe true wellness goes beyond just physical health. It’s about nurturing every part of your being: physical, intellectual, occupational, financial, social, emotional, environmental, and spiritual. Through a comprehensive, integrative, wholistic approach, I help you honor your whole self while learning how to understand what you’re carrying, release what no longer serves you, and move forward with more clarity, confidence, and alignment.

My mission is to support the whole person by tailoring my services to meet your unique needs. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, stress from school or work, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, major life transitions, or the desire to elevate your overall well-being, I’m here to support you.

Together, we’ll embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and transformation. This work is about helping you regulate your body, reconnect with who you are, and create a life that truly lights you up from the inside out.

Lauren Raycrow, MSW

Meet Lauren, currently a Supervisee in Social Wok on the path to becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. As a social worker with over a decade of experience, I hold space especially for women of color seeking healing, growth, and grounding amid life’s challenges. I understand how stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions can weigh heavily, especially when navigating systems and experiences that may not always reflect or affirm who you are. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Norfolk State University and a Master of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University. I currently work in Alexandria, VA, as a school social worker. In our work together, you’ll find a space that honors your identity, your voice, and your journey. I use a variety of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and empowerment-based practices. Through a strengths-based and solution-focused lens, we’ll work to help you reconnect with your inner power and purpose. I’m also a Certified Yoga Teacher (CYT -200), integrating mind-body connection techniques to support holistic healing and stress management. I am passionate about addressing systemic issues and providing comprehensive support to support the well-being of families by equipping parents and children with the tools and support they need to be successful.

Social Work Supervisee

Kenchelle Wells, MSW

Meet Kenchelle, I am a dedicated and compassionate social worker committed to advocating for vulnerable populations and promoting social justice. My passion for social work stems from a deep belief in the dignity and worth of every individual, as well as a strong desire to create positive changes in both individual lives and broader communities. I earned my master’s degree in social work from Walden University, where I developed a strong foundation in case management, crisis intervention, and community outreach. I have worked with at-risk youth, individuals in recovery and living with addictions. These experiences helped me cultivate essential skills in active listening, empathy, cultural competence, and trauma-informed care. I enjoy facilitating groups, supporting clients with resource navigation, and advocacy. Outside of my work, I am involved in community outreach efforts and volunteer work that align with my values. I believe in empowering individuals and communities to overcome barriers, access resources, and build resilience. I can't wait to partner with you, your child, and/or your family along the healing journey
