Ashley Carreras(She/Her/Hers)

Dr. Ashely Carreras is a Psychologist located in Saint Petersburg, FL who works with young adults and adults. She specializes in supporting those who find themselves constantly ruminating thoughts or memories, which can lead to heightened anxiety and an inability to feel relaxed. This can also look like second guessing themselves or acting on perfectionist tendencies, which can become interruptive in daily life including relationships. These thoughts and patterns may be related to past traumatic experiences, or they may be the result of major life transitions like starting or finishing college.

Dr. Carreras practices a therapy approach called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which leverages the brain’s natural processing ability to code distressing thoughts and memories in the past. This can let individuals move on from trauma impacts and learn how to cope with stress. She also practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and narrative therapy, integrating mindfulness into her sessions.

Dr. Carreras earned a PsyD from Nova Southeastern University and has nearly 10 years of experience as a psychologist. She is passionate about working with women and supporting them grow, finding confidence and clarity in their lives. She is a down-to-earth therapist who strives to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental atmosphere in her sessions where clients feel safe to better understand themselves and make changes in their lives.
