Meet Ashley Francis: Somatic & Relational Therapist in Charlotte
I’m Ashley Francis, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with nearly twenty years of experience helping adults move from feeling "stuck" to living with genuine resilience.
While many therapists focus solely on talk, my approach is depth-oriented and somatic—meaning we work with both the mind and the nervous system to create change that actually sticks.
My Clinical Philosophy
I believe the "magic" of therapy isn't just a perspective shift; it's a physiological shift.
When you understand your nervous system patterns and heal your attachment wounds, your life begins to change in profound ways.
In our work together, I am not a passive observer. I am a trusted, experienced therapist who isn't afraid to challenge you, while always ensuring you feel regulated and safe.
We move beyond surface-level coping to address the root causes of anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship patterns.
Why I Work Differently:
Over the last two decades, I have invested thousands of hours into specialized training in vagus nerve regulation, integrative psychotherapy, and somatic-informed care.
Because I know that deep healing requires consistency, I offer my services through a Monthly Care Plan.
This ensures we have a dedicated, reliable space to do the "blood and sweat" work of transformation together.
