I believe in embracing your child's inner strengths to promote positive healing. I will help them to develop the independent ability to effectively cope with life's challenges"
- Ashley Elsaesser

Helping Children and Adolescent's cope with life's challenges is more than a job, it is my passion. I am originally from Upstate New York where I attended college and received my Masters Degree in School Counseling. My career brought me to sunny Charlotte, North Carolina where I am currently a Middle School Counselor. I feel very fortunate and blessed to know that working with Children and Adolescents is my calling. Although I have the opportunity to effectively intervene with students as a School Counselor, my goal is to provide quality intensive counseling services in a private practice setting where I can have a greater impact.
I have outlined my qualifications and experience below. I look forward to sharing my passion and knowledge with you and your child. Schedule your free consultation today!
