Ashley Hansen, MA, LMFT

I work with people of all ages and diverse backgrounds facing various kinds of life stressors. Each new phase of life may bring changes that cause us to adapt and grow in somewhat unpredictable ways. Life is full of joy as well as trauma and pain. Some of life's events can be extremely challenging. I want to help support you through that. Pain from our past may arise and get in our way. I can help you process that. Whatever you're facing, my goal is to work with you to find unique strengths and creative solutions that allow you to thrive in the midst of it. Getting to know, forgiving and accepting ourselves in this exact moment is all part of the journey. I will create a nurturing environment where I listen with an open and compassionate heart. I bring laughter, joy and transparency into my work. I love working with couples, individuals and families. I see clients in person in San Francisco and Pacifica and I provide teletherapy (video or phone) sessions to anyone who resides in the state of California. For those of you who would like a different approach to talk therapy, I offer walk and talk sessions, where you can move your body in nature while processing your emotions. I was born and raised in the Bay Area and love living here for all that it has to offer. I am a mama of two and in my free time you can find me outside in nature adventuring with my family, exploring a new trail, running on the beach and mountain biking.
