Intern Staff

Ashley McGohan, MA

 

As a therapist, I extend a warm invitation to you to join me on a journey of self-discovery that can be both life-changing and enlightening. One of my hopes for you is that you will come to a greater understanding of who you are in the context of whatever circumstances bring you to therapy. Whether transitions, relationship issues, or personal hardships, I am committed to providing you a safe space for exploration, reflection, and empowerment.

Within the sanctuary of therapy, I view my role as that of a compassionate guide, navigating the complexities of life’s challenges with you as we work through trauma, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, interpersonal struggles, or other issues. Though the weight of these experiences may seem insurmountable, I believe the resilience and inner strength that exists within each of us can provide a personal path to healing and growth.

While I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults alike, my passion lies in supporting the emotional well-being of children and adolescents. I often rely on the language of play in my work with children while seeking to create a nurturing environment where young clients can express themselves authentically as they navigate complex emotions and thoughts. I view the role of parents in this process as vital, and I seek to create a collaborative partnership in addressing the unique needs of their child.  Additionally, my own experience as a child growing up in a military family has given me personal insight into the challenges faced by children within this community, enriching my approach with empathy and insight.

I join CDPCC under the supervision of Dr. Ann Letourneau, CSJ, while finishing my final year of the clinical psychology doctoral program at The Chicago School. My internship is also part of the Chicago Area Christian Training Consortium program (CACTC).
