Hello! My name is Ashlee Murphy Reed. From an early age, I knew I wanted to be a counselor to strengthen families. I watched my parents help other people in the community and I knew that was something I wanted to do when I became an adult. After graduating from the University of Richmond with a B.A. in Sociology, I received a Master of Social Work degree from Virginia Commonwealth University and a Master of Divinity from the Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond.

After doing Intensive In-home counseling and treating clients who were in crisis situations, I decided to become an out-patient therapist. I try to make my office a safe space for people to share their concerns and fears, as well as their hopes and triumphs.

When I am not in the office, I enjoy listening to podcasts, doing Jazzercise, and learning Spanish. I recently became a vegetarian, so I like to try new recipes and vegetarian restaurants. I also am a Licensed Minister at my church, so I am frequently involved with speaking engagements, officiating weddings and ministry assignments.

If you would like more information, please contact us at (804) 404-6763 or email us at helpingyoufeellighter@gmail.com. I would love to answer any questions that you may have.
