Ashleigh Sorenson

With a compassionate and curious approach, Ashleigh Sorenson, LMFT #88863, offers a unique blend of depth-oriented and trauma-aware therapies to guide clients through their healing journey. As the Director and Psychotherapist at Psyche and Soma Psychotherapy Group, Ashleigh specializes in working with young adults navigating the complex terrain of trauma, anxiety, depression, identity struggles, and life transitions.

Ashleigh's therapeutic toolbox is rich and diverse, drawing from attachment theory, inner-child work, Jungian analytic psychology, feminist approaches, dream work, and somatic therapy. This integrative approach allows her to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs, fostering a space where genuine healing can occur. Her professional journey, which began in 2010, is grounded in a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Vanguard University of Southern California, culminating in her licensure as a psychotherapist in 2015.

At the core of Ashleigh's practice is the belief that the therapeutic relationship is paramount to healing. She offers not just her expertise, but also genuine compassion and a willingness to engage deeply with clients' inner worlds. This relational approach creates a safe container for exploring the soul's demands for change, a process Ashleigh acknowledges can be both scary and deeply satisfying.

Ashleigh's commitment to inclusivity shines through in her work with people from all walks of life. She skillfully employs various treatment modalities, including traditional talk therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and Sandplay therapy, adapting her approach to best serve each individual client. Her dedication to trauma recovery and healing extends beyond her clinical work; she views her role as a therapist as a calling that aligns perfectly with her personal passions.

In addition to her clinical work, Ashleigh offers clinical case consultation to other healing professionals, sharing her expertise in areas such as complex trauma, attachment theory, Jungian psychology, and somatic approaches. This multifaceted role as practitioner, consultant, and lifelong learner enriches her practice, allowing her to stay at the forefront of trauma-informed care.
