You're feeling overwhelmed and the things you've been trying just aren't making you feel any better. The reason why it hasn't worked isn't because there's something wrong with you but rather it's that the story you tell yourself about the problem.

Blue Sage Counseling and Wellness provides anxiety therapy, depression therapy, trauma therapy, and wellness services to teens and adults in Charlotte, NC.
Some days it's difficult just to get out of bed. The zest for life that you once felt is no longer there and you try desperately to find it again. You may even find yourself relying on alcohol, food, or substances to numb the hurt but the relief is only temporary. You might even seek help from friends, family, or other health professionals to manage the depression but you just can't seem to find relief from sadness.
Maybe you're having difficulties sleeping. Little things startle you, and you feel constantly on edge. Sometimes you think you're depressed, but you know it's more than that. You're avoiding things and feel stuck. You want to "move on" and try to forget the stressful things you've been through, but memories and negative thoughts keep coming back.
For much of your life, or your entire life, you have found it challenging to "fit in." You know that you're a good person and have a lot to offer the world but remain frustrated that others can't or won't acknowledge that you are simply human. You might even feel as though you were born in the wrong body and feel desperate to make the necessary changes to finally match who you are on the outside with who you are on the inside.

I just started seeing Ashley recently and she's already helped me and my mental healthy substantially. She has such a unique approach to counseling and incorporates interactive and hands-on activities into each session. She has pulled things out of me that I don't think I would have considered on my own. I can't recommend her enough!

Ashley Francis was recommended to me by a friend who also practices therapy in the Charlotte area. If I had any idea of the positive impact that our sessions would have on me, I would’ve started therapy so much sooner. Ashley is empathetic, authentic, understanding, and transparent. And, she’s always open to giving me the flexibility to navigate our sessions in a way that’s comfortable for me (even in the moments when I may deflect or speak cryptically :)), while still helping ensure that I’m taking the necessary steps to progress. I’m forever grateful for Ashley’s support throughout

Please be advised before using Ashley Francis to improve your mental wellness. She is known for using dating apps to recruit and generate new business, instead of using it as it's intended. This is truly a person who lacks the empathy to understand people on a personal level and may need some counseling herself. You should carefully consider this before placing your trust & valuable mental health into someone this like. She is not "committed to doing what’s right for the world."

I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Ashley at two different mental health agencies. I have watched her grow both personally and professionally and am proud to call her a colleague and a friend. Ashely is an extremely kind, compassionate, and empathetic person that takes all those wonderful qualities into her therapy work with clients. She works diligently to understand the needs of each individual so she can help guide them on their path to growth and healing. If you are looking for a therapist with a wealth of knowledge and experience in treating mental health issues, you have

Of Blue Sage Counseling and Wellness is truly a professional, relatable, compassionate therapist. She's a special find in her field. I recommend her to anyone that has thought about seeking a licensed professional therapist that can get you back to the real you. Consult with Ashley, you'll be glad you did.

I've worked with several different therapists off and on through the years, when the need is there, and have been fortunate to have worked with two in particular who are just wonderful. One lives in Oregon, and the other one is Ashley at Blue Sage here in Charlotte.
She is an excellent communicator, compassionate listener, and holds great space. She is professional, reliable, and clear, but also clearly loves the work she does and that comes through in her sessions, which is special. Personally, she has helped me process an unbelievable amount of family-related stress, and also connected me to

Ashley is absolutely wonderful. I truly can’t say enough about how talented she is as a healer. She has, and continues to, help me understand and work through my past trauma. She has helped me understand and create healthy boundaries. She consistently reminds me how important it is for me to take care of myself in order to be able to better care for my family and friends.
I have worked with many therapists over my 38 years on this planet, and Ashley is genuinely the best therapist with whom I have ever worked. She is so much more than a therapist. She will truly listen to you, support you, work

Ashley Francis is simply amazing! This year I began having more anxiety in my life and I didn't know what to do, let alone a professional I could talk to that I didn't feel judged by. Speaking with Ashley from our first consultation I was immediately at ease and felt like I have known her my entire life. To me that is invaluable. I very highly recommend Ashley.
