Description
At Wholistic Alignment Therapeutic Wellness Center, we specialize in helping children, teens, and women build emotional regulation skills, heal from trauma, and reduce anxiety using trauma-informed, body-based approaches. Many of the individuals and families we work with feel overwhelmed, stuck in survival mode, or exhausted from pushing through for far too long. While traditional therapy may have offered insight or coping tools, the body can still feel tense, anxious, or on edge. Our work centers nervous system regulation and whole-body restoration so healing can feel more sustainable and embodied, not just understood.
The practice is led by Ashley Waddell, LCSW, a certified EMDR and holistic therapist with advanced training in trauma-informed and somatic approaches. Ashley works with teens and adult women who experience chronic anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and the effects of unresolved trauma. She also provides parent-child therapy and caregiver support when family dynamics, school stress, or regulation challenges are part of the healing process. Her approach blends EMDR, CBT, and IFS with breathwork, yoga, and sound healing to help clients feel safer in their bodies, more grounded, and better equipped to navigate daily life.
In addition to Ashley’s work, Wholistic Alignment includes a supervised resident clinician who provides therapy to children and teens navigating anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, and school-related stress. Her work is warm, developmentally responsive, and skills-based, supporting young clients as they learn to understand their emotions, build coping skills, and increase confidence at home and at school. All services are provided under Ashley’s clinical supervision to ensure thoughtful, high-quality, trauma-informed care.
Whether you’re a caregiver seeking support for your child, a teen learning how to manage big emotions, or a woman ready to slow down, reconnect, and heal, our practice offers a supportive space to feel seen, regulated, and supported. We believe meaningful change happens when therapy honors the whole person — mind, body, and nervous system — and when caregivers are supported alongside the individuals they love.
Currently accepting clients in Virginia and Maryland.
