Hello
I’m Dr. Ashley Shulski, a licensed clinical social worker and trauma therapist. I provide trauma-informed consultation, professional guidance, and education for clinicians and organizations, alongside my clinical practice for adult survivors of complex trauma at Harbor Light Counseling. My work centers on creating safe, steady, and respectful spaces for professional growth and learning.
My work centers on creating spaces where healing, learning, and professional growth can unfold gently, safely, and respectfully. I also maintain my clinical practice, Harbor Light Counseling AZ, which offers therapy for adult survivors of complex trauma.
While my personal site focuses on consultation and professional work, my clinical practice for adults is based at Harbor Light Counseling AZ. For therapy inquiries, please visit www.harborlightcounsleingaz.com
