Jeri Perkins, LMSW

As a clinician, my goal is to serve as a resource for my clients through the therapeutic process to promote resiliency, self-advocacy, self-determination, and self-efficacy as protective factors that enhance their confidence and quality of life. As an MSW I am trained in holistic therapeutic interventions to assess and evaluate clients decision-making capacity from a person-in-environment and family systems lens and approach.

I have over four years of experience working with youth, adults, family units, and communities living with Serious Mental Illness (SMI), as well as behavioral and social and emotional challenges while navigating the child welfare system reunification process and care in group home and independent living settings. In my professional practice my goal is to utilize strengths-based and tailored approaches as well as mindfulness tactics to meet clients individualized needs where they are at in their healing journey to enhance quality of life outcomes.

“Liberation of mind, body and spirit is how you care for yourself.”

    Months of EMDR is not fun, but Ashlea guided me through this treatment for my PTSD with confidence, grace, and support necessary for my success. I cannot say enough about the progress I've made with her help. I would choose her again and again for all my mental health needs.

    Grace under Fire therapy probably saved the life of my 13 year old daughter. Depression and self esteem issues plagued her. Amazing how talking with a professional can change the way we see ourselves, the world and our circumstance. We are eternally grateful for Ashlea and her expert communication skills.

    Working with Ashlea has been life changing. I came in broken, lost, and riddled with PTSD. She showed me a new way to live life. I am now happy, joyous, and free. All thanks to her.

    I had developed very unhealthy ways of coping with my emotions. Ms. Taylor helped me find ways to cope that made me feel better about myself and my emotions as well as helping me address the relationships around me and fix them.
