Marilyn Ashley, MA, LMFT
I help individuals and couples gain the understanding and tools they need to have a successful and lasting relationship. I also help them uncover longstanding patterns and behaviors that can wreak havoc on their relationships. Instead of turning away from one another, I will show you how to turn toward each other.

In addition to my couples work, I work with individuals who are facing self esteem issues, career concerns, medical concerns, relationship dynamics, depression, anxiety and trauma. My office is located in Hermosa Beach, CA and provide adult, adolescent and couples therapy. I also serve clients from Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, El Segundo, Torrance and all over the South Bay area.
Services
In order to continue to serve our community and widen my capacity to offer support during this time of need, I have other therapists who work with me. We offer both in-office and Telehealth sessions. They have had extensive clinical training, life experience and their unique approaches make them well-rounded, excellent clinicians.
As a psychotherapist, below are the areas where I have professional counseling and psychotherapy experience, including adults, adolescent and couples therapy. Therapy provides a time and place just for you. Time for processing your experiences and exploring your feelings. Sometimes we can feel sad, alone, helpless, unfulfilled, or stagnant.
Stress and anxiety are a part of the human experience. Oftentimes, however, these levels of anxiety and stress can get so high that it feels like our ability to function in our regular life is compromised. The demands of careers and school, physical health concerns, family and intimate relationship problems, are a few factors that can often amplify the stress and anxiety that we feel.
What is the investment and how long do the sessions last? In general, you will find that the cost of therapy varies between professionals based on a few different factors (therapist's licensure type and status, whether or not they are on insurance panels, the amount of certifications they have or specified trainings they have completed, and more.)
I look forward to hearing from you and seeing how our work together can help you move from where you are today to where you want to be. As your local Hermosa Beach therapist, I offer individual therapy and couples therapy. Please see My Services page for a complete, detailed description of each. My office is located on the corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Artesia, on the ocean side.

I found Marilyn while searching for a new therapist who could work with me online due to the current quarantine and "safer at home" orders. I was uncertain how online therapy would be with a therapist I had never worked with before, but she has such a calming effect and made the process of starting therapy online so comfortable.
I had been experiencing anxiety, vivid dreams and just an overall sense of great sadness. What is so unique about Marilyn is her amazing ability to make me feel comfortable and safe while still pushing me to explore thoughts that give me anxiety. She has an easy and natural
