Dr. Ashley Seiver, OTD, OTR/L

Everyone has things in life they want or need to do. As an occupational therapist, I believe that satisfaction stems from engaging in activities that align with one's values. Therefore, my work focuses on guiding individuals to engage in occupations they find meaningful; These could include adopting healthier lifestyle habits, enhancing organization skills, excelling in academic or professional settings, building social connections, managing stress, & more. Through a collaborative and conversation-based approach, I work with clients to identify goals, harness inner strengths, and overcome obstacles to making meaningful change.
 
I work with individuals seeking support in areas such as attention, motivation, sensory processing, relationship building, & time management. While I work with people of all ages, I have a particular passion for supporting college students and young professionals as they navigate the complexities of adulthood and discover their unique paths to fulfillment.
 
My practice is guided by my doctoral work on motivation & resiliency and prioritizes trauma processing to facilitate healing & engagement. I strive to create a warm environment where clients feel accepted & understood. Wherever you’re at on your journey, it would be my honor to help you to discover greater meaning and satisfaction in your life.

I’ve always known that I wanted a career in which I would be able to help people. Through navigating my own life struggles, I experienced the positive impact of therapy and knew that becoming a counselor was the way I could pay that forward. I furthered my experiential knowledge by working for over a decade in the field of mental health, primarily in residential settings. In my work, I supported individuals who were healing from their own traumas and learning to navigate in the world more independently. While working in the field, I simultaneously earned my Master's degree in counseling psychology, grounding my experiential knowledge in theory and clinical reasoning.

In my current role as a consultant at Mental Health Matters, I leverage my diverse experiences to support the development of effective mental health programming. I provide guidance on trauma-informed approaches, mental health frameworks, and best practices.  I'm thrilled to be able to contribute in this way as I gain the clinical hours needed to complete my counseling licensure.

Watermelon isn't your average office dog. This gentle giant is an integral part of our therapeutic team. With his sweet demeanor and intuitive nature, Watermelon offers unconditional furry companionship. His superpower is creating a safe, welcoming space where even the most guarded hearts can open up. 

Studies have shown that interacting with animals can lower stress, anxiety, and blood pressure, and Watermelon's presence certainly contributes to that positive effect. Whether it's a shared laugh over his goofy antics or a quiet moment stroking his soft fur, Watermelon reminds us of the importance of compassion, empathy, and the healing power of the human-animal connection.
