Ashley Anderson, Intern

Hi! I am a Clinical Mental Health Counseling Master’s student at Eastern Washington University, and I am currently in my practicum and receiving supervision from Dr. Andrea Charles. I received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a minor in Philosophy from Washington State University. Before pursuing counseling, I worked on the Washington State University campus as a research assistant in an EEG lab studying infant temperament before coordinating and managing a research lab studying protective factors for incoming freshmen of racially minoritized status. I also worked as a substitute teacher for the Pullman School District during this time.

I consider counseling a space where people can learn more about themselves, their strengths, where they fit in their community, and how they can reach their goals. I believe in striving to be the best version of yourself and being compassionate when your best isn’t always what you would prefer. I am particularly passionate about supporting and working with transgender and queer folks.

Outside of counseling, I enjoy spending time with my three cats Pepperjack, Mozzarella, and Pudding, laughing with my friends, baking, singing, and playing cozy video games.
