Hi, I’m Ash Blanton.

For years, my life motto was 'work harder and don’t ask for help.' I struggled with perfectionism, anxiety, and the overwhelming  feeling of having to have it together all the time. I know how tough it can be to feel stuck and unsure of where to turn.


I became a therapist to help young guys like myself have a space where they could talk about the struggles they face and solve their problems by building on their strengths and skills.


My goal is to help you find solutions to life’s biggest problems, whether that’s gaining clarity about the future, overcoming destructive habits, or balancing relationships and responsibilities. You don’t have to navigate this season of life alone.

What’s the Ember Counseling Difference?

Connection

Therapy works best when we’re on the same team and connection is essential. I care about learning what you are interested in, whether it is music, sports, or art and incorporating them into therapy.

Experiential

Our experiences shape us. Talk therapy can be great and useful, however it more impactful to incorporate it into the real world.

Support

My goal is to provide both you with the support that you need.

 FAQs

  • Our rate is $200 per session.

  • As is the case with other extensively trained and highly qualified therapists with many years of experience, I am not on any insurance panels and my clients pay privately for my services. This gives you several important advantages, including protecting your privacy (the insurance company does not have access to your diagnosis or what was discussed in our sessions) and control of our work together (you and I determine the length of therapy, what you want to cover in therapy, and the type of treatment that you find is effective and works, not the insurance company). This provides you with the best experience and services.

  • Yes, many clients use their HSA’s and FSA’s.

  • Yes, parking is available and free of charge.

  • Once we schedule our first appointment, we will email you New Client Intake Paperwork for you to read and sign electronically. It is also important to be thinking about your goals for our time together.

  • We typically say high school and up. This helps us maximize therapy according to important developmental milestones. Middle school clients and below can often benefit from a child or family therapist.
