Ashleigh Ide, LMSW

As a therapist with Rivergreen Psychology and through a psychodynamic psychotherapy approach, I strive to provide a warm and open environment that promotes curiosity and growth. Seeking therapy takes real courage. Relationships change, self-esteem wavers, bodies transform, unforeseen social and cultural events occur that place us in uncharted waters, and life turns inexplicably uncertain. Whatever the reason, therapy is a unique opportunity to examine internal and relational conflicts, tease out unhelpful thoughts and deepen your understanding of yourself in ways that foster empowerment, vitality, and creativity.

Very often, we are led to believe that psychic pain starts solely within us when in actuality, a mix of societal, familial, and relational factors combine to shape our experience. These factors influence and can often impede one’s ability to be mindful in traditionally accepted ways. Therefore, anti-racism, reproductive justice, LGBTQAI+ visibility, and climate justice as both concepts and practice inform my work.
