Ashley Franks, LPC

Therapy

For over 15 years, I’ve worked with people in a variety of settings, beginning as a school guidance counselor with elementary and middle school students. Over time, I realized the moments I valued most were the one-on-one conversations and knew I wanted to open a private practice. Fear held me back for years, especially around taking the NCE, until I finally went for it and passed on the first try—14 years after earning my master’s degree from Clemson University. Today, I’m proud to have my own practice, complete with a coffee bar and therapy dog-in-training!
