Hello, I'm Katrenia White-Law, MA, LCPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping individuals, couples, families, and adolescents navigate life's challenges with compassion, evidence-based care, and practical solutions. With years of experience in behavioral health, community mental health, family systems, substance use treatment, and telehealth counseling, I have had the privilege of working with clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, relationship conflict, addiction, life transitions, emotional regulation difficulties, and family stress.

Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward. Others are seeking healthier relationships, improved communication, greater self-confidence, recovery from addiction, or effective coping strategies to manage stress and create lasting change.

My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore their experiences, build resilience, develop new skills, and move toward healing, hope, and a more fulfilling life.

I am Ashley Maeshack, a licensed professional counselor (LPC) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges. I earned my master's degree in counseling from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and have experience working with adolescents and adults. I specialize in supporting clients experiencing anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, trauma, stress, life transitions, and emotional challenges. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each client's needs and goals. I believe that healing begins in a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. 

I use a collaborative, strengths-based approach that integrates CBT, DBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. Clients can expect a supportive environment focused on building coping skills, resilience, and lasting positive change. 

Taking the first step toward change can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to face life's challenges alone. I am committed to providing a safe, supportive space where you can heal, grow, and build on your strengths. If you're ready to begin your journey toward greater well-being, I look forward to supporting you along the way.
