Therapy for Anxious Women, Parents & Couples
Welcome — I’m Denise Ashcroft & I’m Glad You’re Here
If you’re a mom who feels anxious, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin...
If parenting neurodiverse kids feels isolating or confusing...
If you and your partner are stuck in the same arguments and can’t seem to reconnect — you’re not alone.
I help moms, parents, and couples find calm, confidence, and connection again. Together, we’ll create space to breathe, gain clarity, and build practical tools for everyday life.
My goal is to help you feel seen and supported, while guiding you toward lasting growth and emotional balance.

My Approach
Every person and family is unique, and I tailor therapy to meet you where you are. My approach is:
Empathic & non-judgmental — You deserve a space that feels safe and supportive.
Solution-focused & collaborative — We’ll work side-by-side to find what truly helps.
Neurodiversity-affirming — I embrace all kinds of minds and support parents raising differently wired kids.
Specialties
I specialize in supporting:
Anxious moms & parents managing burnout, guilt, and overwhelm
Couples navigating communication, conflict, or life transitions
Parents of neurodiverse children (ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivity, etc.)
Individuals healing from co-dependency, grief, or low self-esteem
Adult children of alcoholics seeking emotional freedom and healthier patterns
How We’ll Work Together
Our sessions are collaborative and personalized. Depending on your needs, I integrate approaches like:
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Expressive Arts Therapy, the Gottman Method, Person-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness & Meditation, Emotional Intelligence Skills, Psychoeducation, Positive Psychology, Love Languages, Social Skills Coaching, Grief Work, and Positive Parenting tools.

**Out of Network Reimbursement -I will provide assistance with being reimbursed with Out of Network Payment. Ask me how in your message.
All Sessions are Telehealth
Private Pay
Private Pay (provides space to have therapy without a mental health diagnosis)
Insurance
Premera, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Anthem, Lifewise
Out of Network Reimbursements
Out-of-network benefits for therapy reimburse on average 70% of the session cost, allowing the client to recoup a large portion of the therapist’s full fee when the client pays Private Pay.
How it works: I provide you with a Superbill after the session is over. You pay the session fee at time of service. You submit the superbill to your insurance company. As long as you have out of network coverage, you will most likely be reimbursed around 70%.
Example:
Paid (at time of service) Session $170
Out of Network 70% -$119
Your out of pocket = $51
*example based on possible reimbursement. All results are between you and your insurance.
Transforming Lives
Through Expert Therapy:
For Anxious Moms
You love your kids deeply… but you’re tired, overstimulated, and carrying everything.
On the outside you look “fine.” Inside, it’s more like:
Constantly second-guessing yourself
Feeling like an imposter at work and at home
Comparing yourself to “perfect” moms online
Never really getting a break, even when you’re off the clock
In therapy, we’ll:
Untangle anxiety from your identity
Turn down the “I’m not enough” narrative
Build boundaries that don’t make you feel like the bad guy
Create space in your life that actually includes you
Help you feel seen as a mom, partner & woman.
You don’t have to keep white-knuckling motherhood. You’re allowed to be a good mom and a human.
For Couples
You used to feel like best friends. Now it feels more like roommates… or opponents.
Lately you might notice:
The same fight on repeat
Little comments turning into big blow-ups
Shutting down, walking on eggshells, or going straight into defense mode
Missing each other even when you’re together
In couples therapy, we’ll:
Get underneath the arguments (it’s rarely just about the dishes)
Help you talk so your partner can actually hear you
Break the blame/defense cycle
Rebuild softness, play, and “us against the problem” energy
The goal isn’t perfection. It’s feeling like you’re on the same team again.
***And for those Couples that are Parents….parenting on the same page!
For Parents Breaking Cycles & Getting on the Same Page
You swore you’d do it differently than your parents did.
But in the heat of the moment, you hear their words coming out of your mouth—or feel yourself shutting down the way they did.
On top of that, you and your partner might not agree on what “good parenting” looks like: gentle vs. “firm,” structured vs. go-with-the-flow. It’s exhausting being in that tug-of-war.
Together, we’ll:
Connect how your childhood is shaping your parenting now
Name the patterns you want to end—and what you want to build instead
Clarify shared parenting values so you’re not fighting about parenting all the time
Practice regulation tools so you can respond instead of react
Reparenting isn’t about being a perfect parent. It’s about choosing to do it differently—on purpose, together.
