Ashley "Ash" Kleamenakis, LMHC
(They/them/she)
​
I received my BA in psychology from Umass Dartmouth in 2013 which started my journey into the field of mental health. Since then I have worked in a variety of settings, emergency department, residential, partial programs, outpatient DV therapist, children's therapist (specifically children who experienced rape, sexual assault or domestic violence), received my Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Framingham State University in 2018, and finally my LMHC in September 2021. I have attended numerous trainings on trauma, the impact of trauma, how to treat trauma, but also trauma in the LGBTQIA+ community.
I have extensive experience with folx who have experienced traumatic events in their life (more specifically childhood trauma, rape, violence and assault), individuals who struggle with suicidal ideation, DBT, CBT, EMDR, Narrative therapies, folx who struggle with Borderline Personality Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, Grief, marriage concerns, support with every day stressors, and I do see children who have experienced trauma.
I am also a Queer therapist bringing with me not only first hand understanding of LGBTQIA+ struggles/issues as well as my years of experience and training in the trauma field. I've worked with folx who were exploring their identity (sexual or gender), parents who are struggling when a child comes out or who may feel lost, folx who has experienced hate crimes and many more concerns that pop up in the community.
When I'm not doing therapy I'm being tormented by my very sweet, stubborn, trickster-like cat named Trouble (she's a black cat too), my two snakes, cross stitching or playing dungeons and dragons. Trouble on the occasion does join sessions over telehealth.

Life is a constant state of transition and at times, we can struggle to adapt and roll with what life is handing us. Maybe your struggling to maintain balance in your life, working on strengthening a relationship, or your on a journey to find purpose and passion. Many that suffer with anxiety, depression, or emotional distress benefit from a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space to break through ineffective patterns of behavior and thinking that limits our success.

I am a multicultural psychotherapist who practices CBT, DBT, Trauma Informed care, Psychoeducation, Systems Focused family work, and other forms of evidenced based practices. My experience with adolescents and families enables me to assist parents in increasing effective communication, managing challenging behaviors and emotions, and gaining support and useful resources.
