Welcome!
"The inspiration you seek is already within you. Be silent and listen."
- Rumi -
I’m grateful for the opportunity to introduce myself and the services I offer.
Being human is tough. To be human is to feel pain. We all carry childhood wounds that shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world. Some of us have learned to recognize and navigate these wounds, but many of us have learned to push them away and work hard not to feel them.
Choosing to slow down, look inward, and open yourself to the challenge of healing is an incredibly brave act.
At Be Still Counseling, I work to create a non-judgmental, safe, and open environment where you can explore and heal those wounds at your own pace. Healing is not linear, and it is rarely neat or pretty. The journey can take us into some of the darkest places in our minds, bodies, and souls. Yet, it is often through that pain that we find peace.
My role is to walk alongside you and to hold a safe space for your healing. We have to feel to heal, and we must process pain to move toward peace. At the end of the day, I believe most of us long for the same things: to feel loved, to feel truly connected, and to experience a deep sense of peace. If this feels aligned with your beliefs and what your heart is longing for, then I invite you to pause, take a breath, and let’s be still.

About Ashley Lauderdale
What I am… is an LPC therapist, that has found through my own healing process that stillness is the path. I have practiced for more than 20 years in various facilities, state agencies, and for a wide range of populations.
What I have discovered is that education is a nice starting point, but the ability to be still in your own personal life allows for healing with my clients. Basically, I work really hard to have peace, awareness, and stillness within myself so that when we are together, I can be a blank space. I can help hold pain, I can see things maybe out of sight, and I can offer alternative avenues to peace. I can list my education, all my trainings, where I have worked, blah blah blah. But don’t you really want to know how we can connect and get you feeling better?
