Owner and Psychotherapist
Ashlyn Zinck, MS, EdS, LCPC, CCTP
At the heart of my approach to therapy is the belief that it is a collaborative effort between the therapist and the client. As your therapist, I am here to offer a fresh perspective and provide you with tools, insights, and creative approaches to help you navigate life's challenges. In turn, I believe that it is important for you to bring openness, vulnerability, and a commitment to action in your life to our sessions.
As a Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) I understand the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your experiences and emotions. My integrative approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MBCT), with a focus on helping you accept and manage difficult thoughts and emotions, develop greater self-awareness and self-compassion, and achieve your goals.
Together, we can create positive change and lasting transformation in your life.
Areas of interest
I enjoy working with individual adults who:
have high anxiety
are going through a life transition or rediscovering themselves
are women who are experiencing issues from infertility to relationship struggles
have experienced religious trauma or spiritual abuse
or are navigating difficult relationships with family.
About Me
As a therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals discover their authentic selves and live fulfilling lives. I grew up and received my education in the South before moving to Chicago seven years ago. My professional experience ranges from working in the foster care system and child advocacy centers to college success centers and group private practices. Private practice is where I have been able to discover my love of working with adults experiencing anxiety and trauma recovery.
Drawing from my personal experience of leaving a fundamentalist religion, I understand the challenges that come with navigating difficult life transitions and finding one's authentic path. Since embracing my own values and living an authentic life, I have found a greater sense of peace, stability, and calm.
If you're ready to explore your own journey toward authenticity, I would be honored to support you on this path. Reach out to schedule a consultation today and see if we're a good fit for working together.
