Ashley Wilson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Hi, I’m Ashley — therapist, wife, mom, and founder of Hawthorn Counseling Center. I’m passionate about supporting people through seasons of life that feel uncertain and overwhelming. I specialize in working with teens, adults, and moms (new and seasoned moms).
My approach is collaborative and compassionate, blending ACT, IFS, and Polyvagal Theory to meet each client right where they are. I believe therapy is about creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, supported, and equipped with tools for real-life change. Therapy with me isn’t one size fits all because every client is different and has different needs.
Hawthorn Counseling Center is based in Lago Vista, Texas, offering both in-person sessions for local clients and virtual sessions anywhere in Texas.
