Manage episode 378031089 series 3407806
Dr. Ashley Houchin is a licensed clinical psychologist. She is the owner of a small group therapy practice called Lotus Bloom Psychology, located in Naperville, Illinois. Dr. Ashley, as she is known, has an affinity for working with neurodivergent individuals and specializes in supporting those diagnosed with ADHD. She is a jill-of-all-trades, seeing clients, conducting evaluations, supervising staff, operating the business side of her practice, and, least of all, posting on social media. She comes from a lineage full of teachers and continues to find herself drawn to supervising and mentoring.
I first met Ashley during the last stage of my clinical training and she acted as my diagnostic supervisor, a.k.a. testing, which you will soon learn was not my favorite thing and elicited quite a bit of anxiety to engage with for several reasons. But Dr. Ashley stood out as a calm, compassionate, and open-minded supervisor, there to guide me through it and entertain all of my wild ideas along the way, which have only grown wilder with time.
I so appreciate Ashley for coming on the podcast to discuss the various roles we played on our intertwined journeys into Freedom and Power.

Please enjoy this episode with Dr. Ashley Houchin, and may it be an invitation, a gift, and a medicine to learn from the systems you engage with and support the stepping stones to your own greatest freedom.
