Ashley Longabaugh-Cantos

I am so glad you're here!

I work with folks of all ages—kiddos, teens, and adults—and I’m passionate about mental wellness. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, loss/grief, relationship issues, or navigating life changes, I’m here to help. In my practice, I deeply appreciate diverse experiences and the importance of creating a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel respected and heard.

First and foremost, I approach therapeutic relationships as a partnership; you are the expert of your own life and I am here to help you explore and grow in your own way and time. I have extensive experience working with clients from tough situations who struggle to find their place and purpose in the world. My therapeutic approach is person-centered and cognitive-behavioral based; however, I also utilize an eclectic therapeutic approach tailoring to a client’s specific needs. I also believe in the healing power of humor and finding the light in everyday life.

Education and Background

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, earning both a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a certificate in animal-assisted therapy from the University of North Florida in 2019. During my time at UNF and throughout my career, I have worked with underserved, at-risk populations such as juvenile offenders, human trafficking survivors, and students attending alternative school due to expulsion, as well as, providing psychoeducation to Duval county school teachers, administrators, and faculty.
