Ashley Johnson
MS, LPC
She/Her
Ashley became a counselor because she wanted the opportunity to support clients to effectively produce change in their lives through authentic and meaningful interactions. Ash supports this process through radical acceptance, empowerment, asking tough questions, and an appropriate use of humor.
Before becoming a therapist, Ashley worked with kiddos on the Autism Spectrum and in the operations department at a detox facility. Prior to joining the Drishti team, Ashley worked locally as a clinical supervisor within the crisis system.
Ashley has lived in Bend since December 2020 because it’s beautiful here and somewhere she has always enjoyed visiting. Ash enjoys spending time with her two dogs, snuggling with her 3 cats, thrifting and working to remodel her home. She is grateful to join in the journeys of people who are dedicated to bettering themselves in any way.
