Ashleigh Flores Cantu, LMSW

Hello and welcome! You have taken a step further in caring for your mental health. I am honored that you are considering me to accompany you throughout this journey. I am so glad you are here.

Ashleigh believes that we should prioritize our mental health just as much as we do for our physical health. It is very easy to keep trudging along without taking the time to feel our feelings or process our emotions. In therapy, Ashleigh provides a non-judgmental space to explore past and present feelings and situations. She also finds it helpful to practice mindful thinking by finding our footing in peace in the present.

Ashleigh's therapeutic approach can be synthesized by this Carl Jung quote, “Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul be just another human soul”. She has experience with DBT, CBT, trauma-informed care, and a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. However, she recognizes that therapy is not one size fits all and that it’s important to find skills and techniques that will help you reach your individual goals. Ashleigh approaches therapy with warmth, compassion, authenticity, and her own lived experience. Often, she will suggest clients use techniques that she has incorporated in her own life. Additionally, she has experience with substance use disorders and believes meeting you where you are whether that means harm reduction or abstinence.

Ashleigh has worked with clients from a variety of backgrounds different from her own and believes in using an affirming, culturally sensitive, and culturally responsive approach. She has lived experience as a woman and the struggles with navigating two cultures simultaneously. She believes in developing a therapeutic relationship built on trust to empower you to be the best version of yourself. Ashleigh is also passionate about mental health equity and believes all people should have equal access to mental health care.

In my free time, I enjoy listening to podcasts, reading, writing, spending time with my family and pets, and working out.
