You are not broken.
​
In fact, I believe deeply that every overwhelmed part of you has simply been trying to protect you the best way it knows how.
You’ve tried so many creative ways to cope. Maybe you’ve reached for self-soothers like food, alcohol, Netflix, shopping, or excessive work. You’ve read the self-help books and made promises to yourself, but the old patterns quickly return.
You’re exhausted, burned out, and constantly feel like nothing is ever good enough.
Y'all. I get it. I've been there.
And I am here to tell you that your suffering does not have to persist; there is absolutely a way forward.
Hi, I’m Ashley Martin of Let Your Light Shine Counseling and I am so glad you are here.​
Life can be complicated, overwhelming, and messy—but I believe
that’s what makes it beautiful. No one fits in a neat little box, and
the people I work with never cease to amaze me with their
resilience and courage.
I specialize in helping individuals who are struggling with
substance use and addiction, as well as those navigating
anxiety, depression, and spiritual or faith-related
concerns. I am committed to creating a safe,
nonjudgmental space where you can explore healing
and reconnect with yourself, with others, and with hope
beyond yourself.
I’m here to tell you that there is a way back to yourself
and the life you deserve. Together, we will work toward
understanding the wounds that lie within you, developing
healthy coping strategies, and cultivating a stronger sense of
self-worth.

were before life decided.

Using focused methods like DBT, CBT, and Brainspotting, I can help you learn to regulate your system and manage overwhelming feelings so you can finally feel relaxed and connected to your life.
​
Asking for help doesn't mean you are broken and need to be fixed. It means you are ready to use the deep well of wisdom and resources you already have within you. Sometimes you just need a guiding hand to help you navigate through the difficulties and discover your true power.​
​
Taking the first step to beginning therapy is never easy, AND it is the best thing you could ever do for yourself.
You are worth it.
I offer in-person and virtual counseling in Greensboro, NC, integrating a Christian perspective upon request. As a Christian counselor, I view spiritual integration as a meaningful part of the healing process. However, I will always meet you exactly where you are, honoring your individual beliefs and comfort level. Faith-based counseling is always optional and available if you’d like to include it, but never required.
