Work With Krystal

Creatively Unconventional

It is the balance of being client-centered (meeting clients where they’re at) and encouraging change (which sometimes includes calling out BS or respectfully challenging individuals when needed).

Krystal Paquette McBride MAS-LAMFT, Licensed Associate Marriage & Family Therapist

First, I want to thank you for taking the time to learn more about me.

I focus on creating an emotionally safe place to allow individuals to feel safe, to be vulnerable and lean into discomfort, to create change that may be desired or needed. I work on creating this through my style and approach with therapy; direct but compassionate and caring. In addition, I use humor and transparency, when appropriate. It is the balance of being client-centered (meeting clients where they’re at) and encouraging change (which sometimes includes calling out BS or respectfully challenging individuals when needed).

My focused area of training has been family systems, trauma, addiction, mindfulness/body regulation, and anxiety. Additional areas of work included.

The Wise

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.
