Hello! I’m Dr. Ashley Freeman, a Licensed Psychologist practicing in Urbandale, Iowa, dedicated to helping you heal from your past, build authentic relationships, and find clarity in both your personal and professional lives. My warm, collaborative approach offers a safe space to increase self-understanding and develop practical tools to thrive in your life and in your relationships.
I work best with clients who are reflective, motivated to deepen self-understanding, and curious about building healthier and more authentic connections with the people in their lives. Exploring the impact of difficult childhood experiences is a core focus of my work with therapy clients.
- Are you ready to explore how difficult childhood experiences (e.g., marked by emotionally immature or unavailable parents) have shaped your relationship with yourself and others?
- Do you notice patterns like struggling to assert yourself or feeling disconnected in friendships? Are you eager to understand why these exist and how to change them?
- Do you struggle to validate your own experiences, often dismissing your own reactions and feelings? Do you want to learn to trust yourself and your instincts, moving away from self-doubt or reliance on external validation?
- Are you eager to develop effective communication skills, set healthy boundaries, and build stronger, more authentic connections with the people in your life?
- Are you looking to rediscover joy, confidence, and purpose in your life?
- Above all, are you ready to explore ways to embrace your authentic self?
Whether you’re seeking to understand how your childhood impacts your relationships or longing to connect more authentically with loved ones, I’m here to guide you with empathy and expertise.
I offer in-person services in the Des Moines area and telehealth services throughout the state of Iowa.
