About
Ashley Rawls, MA, LMFT
Owner / Therapist
My name is Ashley, and I am the owner of Mindful Mountain Therapy and Wellness PLLC.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Matthews, North Carolina, and I see clients that live in North Carolina and South Carolina (teletherapy only). I offer teletherapy, walk-and-talk sessions, and have limited availability for in-office sessions.
I work with individuals, couples, and families of all ages. My specialty is working with people who are on fertility and parenting journeys. I also focus on helping people who are dealing with medical challenges, ADHD, life transitions, grief, and loss. I take time to understand each individual’s lived experience, and support the LGBTQIA+ community as an ally.
I use a combination of Narrative and Solution Focus Therapy in order to help clients process their experiences in their own words — this allows them to better identify their values and skills when working towards therapeutic goals. I focus on the development of a trusting, collaborative relationship between myself and my clients, to accomplish established goals and foster a safe environment for growth.
Whether you’re just starting your journey or looking for a fresh perspective, I'm here to help you by providing support and care on your unique path.
On a personal note.
My dedication to therapy comes from my personal experience with fertility and medical related challenges. As a mom who had two kids under two years old, I understand that it can be hard to take time for your personal health. This is why I believe that self-care is important in any form. When I’m not helping clients, I enjoy crafting, gardening, yoga, and hanging out with my family, friends, and pets. I love being outside, and one of my favorite activities is hiking and spending time in the mountains.
