Holistic Therapy Intensives for Black Women and Women of Color in Virginia​
 

​
​

Reconnect to Yourself. Heal in a Way That Honors All of You.​​​

​

You’re holding it all together—but inside, your body is tired, your heart is heavy, and your mind won’t slow down.​Maybe you’ve been through therapy before, but you’re still not where you want to be. You crave deeper healing—not just talking about what happened in a 50 minute session and coming back in two weeks do it all over again, but releasing what you are holding on to from your body and reclaiming your power at a more accelerated and focused pace.​You’re in the right place.

​What is a Holistic Therapy Intensive Therapy?

This isn’t your average therapy session. My Holistic Therapy Intensives are deep, focused, trauma-informed healing transformations designed to help you move through emotional blocks and reconnect with your true self—mind, body, and spirit.

​

Each intensive blends traditional talk therapy with:

​

  • Somatic therapy (body-based techniques to release stress and trauma)

  • Mindfulness & breathwork (to calm your nervous system)

  • Expressive arts & movement

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

​

This is your space to slow down, be seen, and start healing the parts of you that have been silenced or shut down for far too long.

​​​

A space for you to go deeper, uninterrupted
 ​

  • 90 minutes | 3-hour | 6 hour | multi-day intensives available

  • Individualized support tailored to what you actually need—whether it’s working through trauma, anxiety, parenting, or simply getting unstuck

  • A safe, judgment-free space to reconnect with yourself and rewrite old patterns

 

These sessions are private pay only, but that means no insurance limitations telling us how or when to heal. Just the freedom to focus on you and what you need.

Smiling on Yoga Mats
As I tell all of my friends and family, Ashley helped me change my life. I was well into my 30s, living a limited life due to all the fears and anxiety I was carrying. Working with Ashley over the years has helped me shift my mindset, allowing me to pursue life in a more present and confident manner. She helped to free me from the limited beliefs that had been embedded in me by traumatic experiences of my childhood, thanks to her expertise with talk therapy and EMDR. She's helped me become more confident, more myself, helped me to shed the crippling social anxiety I'd lived pinned under for years as well as helped me find tools to help manage other forms of anxiety. I'd rate her level of communication and support a 10/10. In her sessions, Ashley is grounded, making space without any judgment, fully open to listening and witnessing you as a person who is full of potential and figuring out the best strategy to get you there. She's given me tons of nuggets of wisdom that I carry with me everywhere I go.

Who Are Intensives For?

Wholistic Therapy Intensives are for you if:

  • You’ve already done some therapy and feel ready to go deeper

  • You feel stuck, blocked, or disconnected from your body

  • You need more than weekly therapy and prefer a focused experience

  • You’re ready to shift your energy and beliefs from surviving to thriving

  • You value alternative and holistic approaches like yoga, meditation, journaling, sound, and breathwork

​

​

Who Might Not Be a Fit for Intensives?

These intensives may not be the best fit if:

  • You are currently in crisis or need stabilization first

  • You’re looking for ongoing weekly therapy sessions

  • You are not open to mind-body practices or holistic approaches

  • You are actively using substances and not in recovery

​

If you’re unsure, I offer a free consultation to help assess what level of care is best for you.

​​

What Are the Benefits of an Intensive?​

  • Accelerated healing in a short time frame

  • Release stored trauma and tension from your body, uninterrupted

  • Clarity around your blocks and limiting beliefs

  • Calm your nervous system using somatic-based practices

  • Reconnection to your self-worth, purpose, and peace

  • Feel empowered and grounded after just one session

 

​​​​​Intensives with Ashley

Ashley is an integrative psychotherapist and Wholistic Wellness Strategist who creates sacred, culturally-affirming spaces for Black women and women of color to heal deeply.

​

She brings over a decade of experience supporting women navigating:

​

  • Parenting children with emotional/behavioral challenges 

  • Childhood trauma and emotional neglect

  • Sexual trauma and boundary rupture

  • Burnout, anxiety, people-pleasing, and chronic survival mode

  • Loss of identity or connection to self

  • Faith-based reconnection and nervous system healing

​

I understand the intersection of trauma, culture, and identity. My work is deeply intuitive, yet grounded in neuroscience, attachment theory, and somatic research. If you’ve ever felt like “traditional therapy” wasn’t enough—you’re not alone, and you’re not too much.

​

Intensives Matter—Especially for Black Women

Black women are often conditioned to push through pain, perform strength, and carry the emotional weight of others. We are rarely given spaces to rest, reflect, and regulate.

Recent studies have shown that intensive trauma therapy:

  • Can lead to faster symptom relief for complex trauma

  • Supports post-traumatic growth and resilience

  • Increases treatment engagement for Black clients when delivered through culturally-informed, holistic frameworks (source: Penn Trauma Center, 2020)

  • This model is uniquely effective because it honors the nervous system and lived experience—not just your symptoms.
