Ashley Worley
Licensed Professional Art Therapist, LPAT-A / ATR-P (She/Her/Hers)
Ashley Worley is an art therapist and art educator who brings together clinical training, artistic practice, and years of experience in education. She believes that healing does not always happen through words. As an art therapist, Ashley uses the creative process as a therapeutic tool to help clients explore their experiences. Art therapy can be particularly effective for individuals who may find traditional talk therapy difficult.
Ashley provides individual and group art therapy for all ages. Art therapy is a mental health profession in which art-making and the creative process are intentionally incorporated into psychotherapy. Sessions may include creating artwork, reflecting on imagery and themes, learning coping skills, and exploring personal experiences. No previous art experience or artistic ability is necessary!
Separate from her clinical work, Ashley offers art education services for individuals who want to learn, practice, and develop their skills as artists. These services are educational rather than therapeutic and do not involve mental health treatment. Ashley offers private art lessons for all ages in a variety of media. Lessons are individualized based on the student's interests, experience, and goals. She also provides portfolio preparation for students applying or auditioning for specialized arts programs.
Ashley holds a Master of Arts in Art Therapy from Cedar Crest College and a Master of Arts in Art Education from the University of Kentucky. Her professional experience includes outpatient mental health, acute psychiatric and medical hospital settings, private practice, public school art education, and university teaching.
