How We Work Together
I work with adults who are tired of living in survival mode and ready to move toward a life that feels calmer, more connected, and more like their own.
My approach combines deep compassion with practical tools drawn from:
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)
ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention)
IFS (Internal Family Systems)
Person-Centered Therapy
Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and active. I'll meet you where you are while helping you take meaningful steps toward change. You don't have to stay stuck in fear, avoidance, or shame.
My Background & Experience
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate with specialized experience supporting individuals living with OCD, trauma, anxiety, chronic or terminal illness, and relational stress. I’ve worked extensively with clients navigating family planning, infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and the emotional complexity that comes with these seasons.
My background includes trauma‑informed care for survivors of human trafficking and sexual assault, as well as work with active‑duty service members, Veterans, and healthcare professionals. These experiences shape the grounded, steady, and deeply human approach I bring to therapy.
When I’m not in therapist mode, I’m...
Usually cuddling my co-therapist pup, Clementine, baking something new, cross-stitching while listening to audiobooks, or playing cozy video games. I’m also a cinephile and music lover who enjoys movie days and live concerts.
Ready to Take the Next Step?
You deserve to trust yourself and find space for what matters.
Ashlin McGuin, MSW, LCSWA
Therapy for OCD, anxiety, trauma, and learning to trust yourself again.
When your mind gets stuck, it can feel like you're sinking deeper the harder you try to get out. Thoughts loop endlessly, fears demand certainty, and no amount of reassurance seems to bring lasting relief.
If you're living with OCD, anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, or the stress of fertility, pregnancy, or postpartum life, you know it's not as simple as "just stop thinking about it." You want peace. You want to trust yourself again. You want more space for the people, experiences, and moments that matter.
We’ll work together and get you unstuck from the quicksand of your mind. You'll learn how to loosen the grip of intrusive thoughts, understand the patterns keeping you trapped, and build a different relationship with fear, uncertainty, and overwhelm.
