Ashley Larose - Advanced Clinical Resident

Reaching out for help can be difficult—but it’s also courageous, and something to be proud of. Whether this is your first time in therapy or you're returning after time away, my goal is to meet you exactly where you are. I listen deeply to understand your story, your struggles, and what’s led you to seek support. I bring empathy, curiosity, and nonjudgmental compassion to every session.

I provide compassionate, culturally attuned therapy in New York, offering support for anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges through individual and couples counseling. Using an integrative, strengths-based approach, I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and solution-focused therapy—always tailoring the work to meet your unique needs.

Together, we’ll address the concerns that bring you in, while developing practical tools and strategies you can use outside of our sessions. With a holistic approach, we help clients find healing and growth in ways that feel authentic and sustainable.

I know what it’s like when you’re not in a good place mentally—or don’t know how to begin the journey back to yourself. That’s what inspired me to become a therapist: to be part of the solution for those seeking clarity, healing, and renewed confidence. There’s no greater reward than watching someone feel empowered in their own life again.

I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling at Hunter College, after earning my Bachelor’s in Psychology with a concentration in Africana Studies from Stony Brook University. My academic training and lived experience fuel my commitment to cultural responsiveness and holding safe space for people of all identities and backgrounds.

I especially enjoy supporting clients in young adulthood, a time that can feel overwhelming and uncertain. Everyone has a story worth telling. I’d be honored to help you tell yours. Book a consultation or session today.

In Ashley’s Words

What is one of the things that excites you about being a therapist today

One of the things that excites me about being a therapist today is knowing that I am giving people a safe space to come and work on themselves free of judgment. Just having someone to talk to can make such an impactful difference in a client’s life, and I greatly value and look forward to being in a position to provide that help.

I knew I wanted to become a therapist when…

I knew I wanted to become a therapist while working towards my Bachelor’s degree as a research assistant in a Mental Health lab. In my work, I met with teens with depression. I felt like by just collecting data, I wasn’t doing much to help address their symptoms in the here and now. I then decided to pursue becoming a therapist, where I could be more hands on and directly counsel those struggling with mental health.
