Ashley Gunderson, MA, LMHC, LPC she/her

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State (61365693), Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado (0018883), and Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon (C7724).

I earned a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology in 2011. My postgraduate experience included work as an outpatient therapist with children and families, a therapist at an adult rehabilitation center, a counselor and case manager in multiple residential settings working with patients with severe chronic mental illness, and as a residential aid in a men’s rehabilitation center.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in Psychodynamic and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy.

In 2014, I completed two years of didactic work around infant observation and the fundamentals of psychoanalytic theory through The Center for Object Relations in Seattle. This consisted of weekly observations, presenting clinical material, individual supervision, group consultation, and psychoanalytic coursework.

Currently, I am participating in courses through the Oregon Psychoanalytic Center, growing my understanding around psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
