ASHLEE JANZEN, MS, LMFT 98114
Psychotherapist for Individuals & Couples
WELCOME
I am so glad you are here.
Relationships with ourselves or others is one of the most profound things we will do in our lives. In therapy, we travel to the deepest wounds which is often difficult to do alone.
It is my goal to give my clients a safe and judgement-free therapeutic environment where they can find freedom, healing, and wholeness.
I utilize an integrative approach that is grounded in attachment theory. I believe that through our relationships with others we often define ourselves.
My goal is to make therapy a personalized experience for my client and help them to identify the areas where they would like to see healing.
I look forward to connecting with you!

FIRST RESPONDER INDIVIDUAL & COUPLES THERAPY
Strengthening Relationships
My heart is working with first responders and spouses. As a wife of a first-responder, I know first hand the complexity this line of work can often bring to the marriage and parenting roles. Unfortunately, our families are not free from challenges that negatively effect relationships. I am so passionate about offering support around helping individuals and couples that struggle with communication, feeling disconnected from self and others, substance use, infidelity issues.  There is often so much intensity in this line of work, my passion is to help clients create a good rhythm rather than" balance" for their life and relationships. Counseling offers an opportunity to process the realities of the job while creating a better understanding of everyone's needs.
INFERTILITY SUPPORT FOR INDIVIDUALS & COUPLES
You Are Not Alone
It can feel like the loneliest journey. No one's story of infertility is the same. It can be filled with sadness, anger, bitterness, disappointment, anxiety, grief, loss, anticipation, confusion, but also desire, determination and hope. For those who struggle with infertility, the journey to create your family is unique and a complete roller coaster. As a person, I know this road all too well.
I knew after my own experience of looking for someone to support me along my journey, for a place to share my experience and coming up short with someone who also walked through infertility, my purpose was clear.
​
As a therapist, with great compassion and understanding , I support individuals and couples who are on this journey.
It is often difficult to find support even from those who are close to us. They have the best intentions but often lack in the ability to understand the ache in the deepest parts of our being.
Areas I have experience in include:
Female and Male Infertility
Unexplained Infertility
Support through IUI and IVF
Pregnancy after Infertility
Postpartum
So whether you and/or you partner have been recently diagnosed, you are currently in the process of treatments, or are looking for support during or after your pregnancy, I would like to invite you to contact me to learn more about how I can support you.
