Hi, I’m Ashley Garnett — a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC #17190), Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS #27694), and National Certified Counselor (NCC #1629356) based in North Carolina, and also licensed in South Carolina (LPC #10176).
​
I specialize in working with adults, teens, and couples who are navigating the complexities of addiction, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, life transitions, and the unique challenges of military life. With experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, I create a supportive space where clients feel seen, empowered, and motivated to move forward.
​
My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach, helping clients explore what’s within their control, clarify personal goals, and take meaningful steps toward healing. Whether you’re rebuilding after a setback, learning to manage emotional triggers, or seeking support during a life change, therapy can offer both structure and freedom.
You don’t have to have it all figured out to start. I’m here to meet you where you are — with compassion, curiosity, and a clear path forward.
​
Let’s begin the work, together.
Introducing Myst, our red Australian Shepherd and the newest heart of Raven Therapeutic Services!
​
Born in late August and welcomed home this fall, Myst is full of curiosity, sensitivity, and spunk. She’s already showing signs of her future role — quickly learning commands, bonding with our family, and offering gentle presence when it's needed most.
​
As Myst grows, she’ll begin formal therapy dog training to support clients during sessions. Therapy dogs can help ease anxiety, bring comfort through difficult emotions, and create a calm, non-judgmental environment — especially when words are hard to find.
​
At Raven Therapeutic Services, we believe healing happens in many forms. Sometimes, it looks like a warm conversation. Other times, it’s a soft nudge from a four-legged friend who just gets it.
​
We’re so excited for you to meet her!
