Evidence-Based Psychotherapy
Update (9/2020): Dr. Ashbaugh is participating in a meaningful opportunity to facilitate a large grant designed to expand evidence-based mental health services in Tacoma Public Schools. Her schedule will be substantially affected by the work and her clinical capacity is now limited to current clients and those returning to therapy. In addition, Covid 19 has further compressed her schedule and reduced capacity.
Dr. Ashbaugh is unable to accept new clients at present, and likely will remain unable to do so throughout the fall and winter of 2020. She sincerely apologizes for the inconvenience and she hopes to have more availability in the spring of 2021. She does not keep a waiting list due to the extensive length of time before she will be able to see a new client.
