Why Use Our Counseling Services?
Our Therapeutic Approach
Our Story
Worthy Life Wellness, PLLC was founded in 2018 by Jessica Ashlock, LCPC, a seasoned clinician with a heart for helping individuals rediscover their worth and walk in wholeness. Jessica began her work in the social work and counseling field in 2005 and has been in private practice since 2013. After years of experience in both agency and private settings, she recognized the need for a practice that honors the complexity of the human experience—emotionally, mentally, and relationally.
Worthy Life Wellness was created as a safe and compassionate space for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Our mission is grounded in the belief that every person is inherently worthy—worthy of healing, rest, joy, and meaningful connection.
Our team brings a diverse range of clinical experience and specialties, including advanced training in trauma-focused modalities such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Brainspotting. These evidence-based approaches allow us to support clients in deep, lasting healing—especially those working through unresolved trauma, emotional overwhelm, or patterns that feel difficult to break through traditional talk therapy alone.
Behind the scenes, Worthy Life Wellness is supported by Jessica’s husband, Kevin Ashlock, who serves as Office Manager. Kevin handles the day-to-day administrative operations, ensuring the office runs smoothly and that every client is welcomed with care and professionalism. His behind-the-scenes support allows the clinical team to focus fully on the heart of their work—your healing.
Together, Jessica and Kevin are committed to making Worthy Life Wellness a place where every individual feels seen, supported, and empowered to grow—because you are worthy of a life that feels whole.
You are worthy. You are healing. You are blooming.
Because life isn’t just about coping—it’s about blooming into a restored, vibrant, and fully alive version of you.

At Worthy Life Wellness, we believe healing happens when individuals feel safe, seen, and supported. Our therapy style is relational, compassionate, and integrative—tailored to each client’s unique needs and story.
We work with individuals, couples, children of all ages—including very young children—and teens, offering support for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Whether you’re navigating a season of stress, looking to strengthen your partnership, or supporting your child’s emotional development—we’re here to walk alongside you.
For young children and early childhood cases, we draw from our background in Early Intervention to offer nurturing, developmentally attuned support. Sessions may include caregiver collaboration, play-based interventions, and sensory or expressive activities that help little ones regulate emotions and build secure attachment in a gentle, age-appropriate way.
Our clinicians are trained in a variety of evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, including:
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
-
Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT)
-
Person-Centered and Strengths-Based Therapy
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
-
Brainspotting (Phases 1 & 2)
-
Mindfulness-Based and Somatic Techniques
We use a flexible, client-centered approach to meet each person where they are—whether that means processing trauma, rebuilding trust in relationships, supporting emotional development in little ones, or reconnecting with your sense of self.
Healing is not one-size-fits-all. You deserve care that honors your pace, values your voice, and supports you in moving from simply coping to truly living.
