Dr. Ashton is a licensed psychologist with a specialization in anxiety disorders who provides evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for adult populations via teletherapy. Dr. Ashton received her doctorate of psychology from Spalding University in 2001 and completed her postdoctoral training in anxiety disorders at St. Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute, a nationally-acclaimed treatment center for anxiety disorders and an affiliate of St. Louis University, where she remained on as a staff psychologist for 11 years.

​

Dr. Ashton offers anxiety treatment for the full spectrum of anxiety disorders, from mild to severe, but focuses primarily on: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Panic Disorder with and without Agoraphobia.  She utilizes exposure based therapy and exposure and response prevention (ERP) techniques for OCD and provides panic resilience training for panic disorder. Evidence-based treatment with CBT is considered short-term therapy and often only requires about 8-10 visits due to its high level of success. Treatment is active and skills-based designed to help clients begin seeing meaningful progress within weeks, not years. If you've been in therapy for a while without much relief, it may be worth trying a more specialized, exposure-based approach. 

​

Depression can sometimes develop when anxiety has been exhausting or limiting someone's life for a long time. In those cases, mood often improves as anxiety decreases and life starts to open back up again.
