Candice Ashburn

I know how overwhelming life can feel when everything seems to unravel at once. If you're carrying grief, trauma, relationship pain, burnout, or a major life transition, you don't have to carry it alone.

I work with adults and couples who feel stuck, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected and want a path forward. My approach is relational, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I draw from attachment-based work, CBT, somatic awareness, and solution-focused strategies to help you build emotional agility, process difficult experiences, and move toward greater peace and stability.

I have particular experience with grief, post-traumatic stress and growth, relational trauma and betrayal, and caregiver/professional burnout.

Before becoming a counselor, I spent more than 25 years in leadership, education, and global business environments. That background helps me support clients navigating high-pressure careers, identity shifts, and complex personal and professional stress.

I provide in-person counseling in the Nashville/Brentwood area and offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can see if we're a good fit.
