Hannah Ashmore

Atlanta Counseling Collective | Ashlyn Ellington, LLC

Atlanta, GA

Hannah Ashmore is a Licensed Master Social Worker and Counselor providing therapy to children, teens, young adults, and families. Hannah attended The University of South Carolina for her undergraduate degree and received her Master’s in Social Work from Georgia State University. Hannah provides support for children, adolescents and families through the complexities of trauma, depression and anxiety. Throughout her graduate program, Hannah discovered her passion for helping clients foster healthy relationships with themselves as well as within the family system. In individual therapy, Hannah creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can identify the origin of their beliefs and thought patterns that influence behaviors. Using a strengths-based approach, Hannah works empathetically alongside clients to find coping skills and build resilience. Equally passionate about family work, Hannah specializes in attachment-based family therapy, where she guides families to identify and repair attachment ruptures and deepen the emotional connections between children and their caregivers. She believes that families of all backgrounds and life experiences have the ability to improve communication, fostering healthier, more supportive relationships. Hannah is fully trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a therapeutic technique that uses bilateral stimulation of the brain to reprocess traumatic memories. Her goal for clients going through EMDR is to alleviate distress associated with trauma and maladaptive cognitions and therefore have the confidence to move through their lives without feeling defined by their trauma. With a warm and empathetic approach, Hannah is dedicated to guiding clients and families through their healing journeys, empowering them to better understand themselves and the environments around them. Whether working with clients individually or with families together, the goal is always to create a comfortable, judgment-free environment where everyone can feel understood and find hope. Her approach is integrative, drawing from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), play therapy, family systems theory, and mindfulness techniques to meet each client’s unique needs.

Ash Tree Center

Atlanta, GA

You’re smart, creative, and capable, but life still feels harder than it should. Maybe your mind is always going, rest feels impossible, or you’re constantly juggling too many tabs open (in your head and your life). You might find yourself procrastinating, overcommitting, or cycling through bursts of energy and burnout. You’ve done your best to keep it all together, but it’s exhausting. I work with teens and adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like they’re always “on” but never quite catching up.  Many of my clients are creatives or deep thinkers who’ve always taken the unconventional path. Others have spent years masking their struggles, wondering why things that seem easy for others feel so draining. Whether you’ve named it or not, you might be carrying invisible weight that’s getting harder to bear alone. Therapy with me is a space to let your guard down. I approach our work with curiosity, compassion, and a belief that growth happens when we feel seen and supported as our full selves. Together, we’ll make sense of the patterns holding you back, reconnect you with your strengths, and build practical tools for more ease and alignment in your daily life.

North Georgia Psychotherapy & Wellness LLC

Cumming, GA

Do you feel stuck in areas of your life, unable to move forward? Are you seeking guidance as you try to balance meeting the needs of others with your own? Have you tried counseling in the past and didn't get the results you wanted? As a licensed professional counselor and psychotherapist in practice for over 30 years, Cheryl utilizes evidence-based therapeutic interventions to help her clients with the inevitable disappointments, losses, and ruptured relationships of life.  Her specialties include anxiety and panic disorders, depression, PTSD/trauma, relationship issues, and grief. Often, the issues people seek therapy for are rooted in unresolved childhood complex trauma, and as a certified EMDR practitioner and board certified clinical hypnotherapist, Cheryl understands the importance of changing the brain in order to heal trauma. She utilizes EMDR and hypnotherapy to create change rather than simply helping clients cope. With experience in several counseling approaches, Cheryl teaches her adult male and female clients therapy tools she has refined over the years and experienced in her own healing journey. She integrates mindfulness and breathing techniques into all of her therapeutic work to help clients manage distress and ease tension in the body. She believes the supportive connection created in a therapy relationship should be a collaborative one where clients can change negative beliefs and let go of unhealthy patterns/habits in order to experience more peace and joy in their lives.  Cheryl has a special interest in working with women newly diagnosed with breast cancer as well as young adults in their 20s setting out on their life's journey. In addition, Cheryl offers women's groups for those who wish to deepen their connections with other women. As a mother of an adopted adult child, she brings a unique perspective to parenting. In her spare time, Cheryl enjoys hiking, mountain biking, reading, and spending time with her golden doodle, Loki.
