Anxiety and
Panic Disorders

Ashley Johns Hinder, LCSW

Hi, I’m Ashley! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has a passion for working with people experiencing anxiety. My hope is to provide a safe, non-judgmental and accepting space to support you in processing your experiences with dignity and grace. I am a support as you learn to apply new skills and techniques to improve your outlook, relationships and overall functioning in your daily life.

I have been learning in the field of social work for over 10 years. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) in 2014, my Master of Social Work from Metropolitan State University of Denver in 2018 and, my LCSW in 2020. My experience in the field has ranged from residential treatment centers, skilled nursing facilities, private practice and community mental health. Working alongside teams of doctors, nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists and many other professions to care for people across the lifespan has given me a unique perspective on human behavior, development and the impact of trauma and stress on our minds and bodies as we age.

I have been trained in and practice Trauma Focused - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Acceptance, Somatic Experiencing, Exposure and Response Prevention and Experiential Techniques. In my experience, I have learned the importance of pulling from multiple interventions to create a holistic plan to dignify and address the complexity of the human experience.

It it my highest priority to provide quality care to ensure my clients feel heard and empowered throughout their growth journey. I am confident in my ability to create an environment that will help you become more attuned to your mental, emotional and physical experience to begin making intentional choices that align with your needs, values and beliefs. Living consciously and intentionally will help you show up more organized, energized and motivated while reducing resentment, exhaustion and overstimulation.

Outside of the therapy space, I am human just like you. You will find me practicing what I preach because life is never a straight line. I am a traveler at heart and also love to embrace feeling content on the couch. Daily, you can bet on finding me walking with my dog or singing and dancing wherever I am.
