Adolescent Therapy
Adolescent years are some of the toughest years to go through. Teens are experiencing so much change; physically, emotionally, and mentally. Not only are they trying to figure out who they are and who they want to be, adolescences are also attempting to navigate social groups. In adolescent therapy, I help teens identify strategies to help regulate emotions and make healthy decisions. I focus on building self esteem and confidence in their strengths and teach them communication skills on how to solve problems.
Parent Counseling
Parenting is really HARD. Are you quietly worried about your teen? Do you feel like you and your teen have a contentious relationship? Is there constant silence between you and your teen? I help parents and teens come together and talk about problems they may be having within the relationship. I offer family therapy and parenting sessions that focus on repairing the relationship between you and your adolescent and as well as helpful strategies you can use to better communicate your concerns.
Young Adult Therapy
Are you having difficulty adjusting to life's challenges? Do you feel anxious about the future and what life will bring? I help young adults discuss life's challenges and any concerns that may be affecting your relationships. Together, I help you feel empowered to make big decisions so you can pursue the things that give you joy and happiness. Also, being a therapist in Orange County, I support you in figuring out your social needs and wants and how to cultivate meaningful relationships.
Anxiety Therapy
Looking for help with Anxiety? All humans experience a degree of anxiety. Sometimes, anxiety can get out of hand, and you may feel: stuck, constantly overwhelmed, excessive self doubt, and demonstrate physical symptoms. I am here to support you feeling more in control and anxious free. I assist individuals in identifying coping skills that specifically work for them.
Grief Counseling
Often people associate grief with
the loss of a loved one, and while this is true, it is not the only form of loss. Grief is a natural reaction to loss. Grieving is normal however grief may be an experience adolescents and young adults resist or have difficulty understanding how to grief. There is no right or wrong way to grief. I will help you move forward by honoring your own grief journey.
Sport Anxiety Therapy
Do you dread going to practice or games? Are you wondering what happened to your love for playing? Most athletes I work with were already struggling with anxiety and now the anxiety is so overwhelming it's bleeding into sports. Being a therapist in Orange County, I help athletes feel more confident and in control of their anxiety so they can love the game again.
Child Therapy
Is your child struggling with big emotions, anxiety, or changes in their life? Do they have difficulty expressing their feelings or managing stress? We help children navigate life’s challenges by providing a safe and supportive space to process their emotions. Through play, creativity, and evidence-based techniques, we empower children to build confidence, develop coping skills, and strengthen their emotional well-being.
Trauma Therapy
Are you feeling overwhelmed by past experiences that continue to affect your daily life? Do you struggle with anxiety, flashbacks, or a sense of disconnection? We help individuals process and heal from trauma so you can regain a sense of control and confidence. By using evidence-based approaches, including Brainspotting, EMDR, and the Trauma Resiliency Model, we will help guide you in reconnecting with your mind and body to foster resilience and healing.
Group Therapy
Looking for a supportive space to connect with others who understand your struggles? Do you want to gain new perspectives, and feel less alone? We facilitate group therapy sessions so you can share experiences, receive support, and grow together. Through guided discussions and evidence-based techniques, group members develop emotional resilience, improve communication, and foster meaningful connections.
What I offer
THERAPY SERVICES
AS SEEN ON...
Hello,
​I am the Group Owner, Clinical Supervisor, and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has been practicing in Orange County since 2010.
As a Yorba Linda native and former collegiate softball player, my passion for working with teens and young adults began with coaching high school softball and volunteering at a local group home. Over the past decade, I have gained extensive experience supporting youth in public and nonpublic school settings, helping them navigate the challenges of adolescence and young adulthood.
​
In addition to my private practice, I serve as the Team Sports Psychologist at Cypress College, where I work with student-athletes to enhance their mental performance, resilience, and overall well-being.
At Ashley Hudson Therapy, we provide in-person and telehealth counseling services across Orange County, tailoring our approach to the unique needs of each client. Our therapy is rooted in attachment-based and strength-based frameworks, incorporating a range of evidence-based techniques to promote healing and growth. I am also trained in Brainspotting and the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM)—highly effective approaches that help clients process trauma and anxiety by integrating the mind-body connection.
​
Our primary specialties include depression, anxiety, sports performance anxiety, body image concerns, trauma, and grief and loss. We work with children, adolescents, and young adults, while also offering parent counseling for those struggling to foster a healthy, positive relationship with their teenager(s). Our goal is to create a supportive and empowering space where individuals and families can heal, grow, and thrive.
