About Me
The Heart Behind My Work
I’ve always believed that motherhood is both one of the most beautiful and most challenging transitions a woman can experience. But I also know—personally and professionally—that it’s not always how we imagined it would be. The joy can coexist with exhaustion, the love with moments of doubt, and the excitement with waves of anxiety.
I’m Ashley Cline, a licensed therapist and perinatal coach, and I specialize in supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood. Over the years, I’ve worked with mothers facing everything from postpartum depression and anxiety to the quiet, unspoken struggles of identity shifts, relationship changes, and the pressure to “get it right.” My approach blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including EMDR-informed tools, with practical coaching strategies to help moms not just cope—but truly thrive.
Before focusing my practice on perinatal mental health, I worked extensively with clients navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma, which gave me a deep understanding of how past experiences can shape the way we show up in motherhood. I bring that same compassionate, nonjudgmental space into every session, helping women unpack what they’ve been through, reconnect with themselves, and build the tools they need for the season they’re in.
I believe no mother should have to walk this journey feeling alone. Whether we’re processing a difficult birth, navigating the demands of a newborn, or finding yourself again after becoming “mom,” my mission is to help you feel supported, empowered, and confident in your own unique path.
