Meet Ashley Leising, M.S., #IMH13586
Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern
What is your academic background?
I double majored in Psychology and Family and Child Sciences, and graduated with my 
Bachelor of Science from The Florida State University. I then went onto obtain my Master of Science from Palm Beach Atlantic University in Mental Health Counseling.
Favorite Self-Care Activities:
Massages, going to the beach/on the boat, hanging with my cousins, working out, getting my hair and nails done, shopping, cleaning.
What is your approach to therapy?
I have an integrative approach with a focus on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. Each client is different, and I tailor my approach toward their needs.
What influenced you to become a therapist? When did you know that you wanted to work in mental health?
At a young age, I had the opportunity to help my aunt coach children with autism. During
undergrad, I interned at a private practice and have always enjoyed helping others. Through my internship, I began to realize that I have a passion for helping and working with people. I enjoyed my undergraduate coursework and knew mental health was a field I wanted to pursue higher education in.
Why is therapy important?
Sometimes, we just can’t doing everything ourselves. Therefore, we seek the help of others. Therapy is a place for clients to focus on themselves.
Ashley is available for individual therapy sessions and DBT coaching. Call (561) 278-6033 to schedule an appointment.
