Now accepting new clients
Ashley C. Gibson
MEd, MFA, NCC, Licensed Resident in Counseling
I specialize in working with adolescents and adults (ages 15+) navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, and burnout. Many of my clients are high-achieving and deeply insightful, yet find themselves stuck in patterns that haven’t changed despite prior therapy. Clients often come to me during periods of transition, like navigating major life changes, late-diagnosed neurodivergence, or disordered eating, among other challenges.
My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and grounded in the belief that you are the expert of your own experience. I care deeply about working in a manner that honors our shared humanity and your unique cultural context.
I am a National Certified Counselor and a Licensed Resident in Counseling in Virginia, under the supervision of Dayna Kumar, LPC. I’m trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) through the Trauma Recovery/Humanitarian Assistance Program and am certified in Trauma Tapping Technique (TTT).
In addition to my clinical work, I volunteer as a group facilitator with Comfort Zone Camp, supporting bereaved children and teens. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade in nonprofit and arts leadership. That experience continues to shape how I understand stress, responsibility, and the environments people move within, and I bring that perspective into my work with clients.

Dayna Kumar
LPC, EMDRIA Approved Consultant and Board Supervisor
I specialize in children, families, and adults struggling with trauma, grief, and/or difficulties in their relationships. It has always been a passion of mine to work alongside people through their journey towards healing. Though that journey is difficult, I believe that the outcome and relief is worth it. I am honored to provide support through that work.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) holding certification in attachment theory, and am certified Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist.
In the two last decades of my work, I have worked predominantly with people who’ve experienced domestic violence, physical and sexual abuse, and have survived a significant trauma.
I have also worked extensively with parents who have adopted both domestically and internationally on establishing a secure attachment with their children. It has always been a mission of mine to help other parents create a secure environment for the child as they work through the process of their own adoption stories. I hope to walk alongside families as they prepare their homes to adapt to their child’s attachment style. Being a parent through adoption, as I have adopted a child from India, I want parents to know there is support for them.
