Therapist

Virtual • Calabasas, CA


Perhaps you're struggling in silence, and from the outside, everything seems fine to your friends and family. But what happens when your outer world doesn't reflect what's going on inside? You may feel overwhelmed, lost, or too embarrassed to speak up. Who can you talk to or trust that you can say the things that you don’t feel right to say out loud? You are not alone, and it is more common than you may think. This increases anxiety and can stand in the way of building fulfilling relationships, achieving career success, or finding a place of peace where you truly feel at home.

Ashley Timbrell

Therapist

Virtual • California


Seeking support takes courage, and you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. My goal is to create a warm, collaborative environment where we can explore what's keeping you stuck and build practical tools that help you move toward the life you want.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, perfectionism, self-worth concerns, and depression. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, navigating a major change, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, we'll work together to develop lasting skills and meaningful insight.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Communication with a minor in Psychology from Texas A&M University and my Master of Social Work from the University of Houston. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both California and Texas and provide secure telehealth therapy to adults in both states.

If you're ready to take the next step, I'd be honored to support you on your journey.
