My best-fit client is someone who is eager to grow and develop on every level. Therapy is an active, involved, and effortful process. I work best with people who make therapy a part of their life. Your growth depends on how much you’re willing to be honest, learn from your experiences, and step outside your comfort zone. Moreover, therapy often involves out-of-session self-monitoring tasks, homework assignments, exercises, or challenges. As with other skill-building and conditioning endeavors, the more you put into it, the more you will get out of it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f60f3c4a085d54781e2207/1628309936169-MV6ZNTDGBPR53185K2VW/5.png Is This Right For You? - My Values I take responsibility for making a safe space for your voice, listening deeply to your experiences, stories, and histories while being sensitive to your perspectives and identities. I operate from a framework rooted in anti-racist and anti-oppressive practices. I strive to challenge racism, sexism, homophobia, and oppression in all its forms. In addition, l respect and nurture your culture, class, gender, orientation, racial, and religious differences. I will acknowledge our sameness and differences in a way that celebrates who we are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f60f3c4a085d54781e2207/1628309963364-QCXCSKGCJFHNMTP8ZZSS/12.png Is This Right For You? - My Therapy Style My work is aimed at liberation; setting people truly free so they can be in charge of their own lives. To accomplish this, I utilize the following approaches: I combine Eastern practices with Western psychology, trauma therapies, philosophy, and spirituality. You’ll notice that I might quote scientific data and talk about your chakras in the same sentence. I have found that a flexible, integrative approach works best with different people, problems, and contexts. I practice holistically. This kind of therapy integrates spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional forms of well-being. My goal is to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself on all these levels. I also believe that social, economic, and ecological issues are interconnected and interdependent. The problems are interrelated, and so are the solutions. . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f60f3c4a085d54781e2207/1628310018049-C3ZKEW9OZ0B2RPDJT46Y/unsplash-image-fjza4oBV8ic.jpg Is This Right For You? - Two Ways to Work Together Online Therapy (also known as teletherapy, telemental health, e-therapy, or online counseling) allows you to get help from the safety - and comfort - of your home. No more spending time and money traveling to appointments, sitting in traffic, paying for child care, or taking time off from work. Walk & Talk Therapy sessions are available for local clients when my schedule allows. The outdoors acts as a calming natural environment for you to feel comfortable while moving your body. Please inquire if you’re interested in taking our therapy sessions to a trail or park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f60f3c4a085d54781e2207/1628089786311-GMEUOB6BTZYGAP661OUH/unsplash-image-rLwAHfW_ZvY.jpg Is This Right For You? - Let’s Create a Life Where You Feel Calm and Free https://www.mindfullmelanin.com/get-started-1 daily 0.75 2026-05-26 https://www.mindfullmelanin.com/about daily 0.75 2026-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f60f3c4a085d54781e2207/1627328489563-0CVJP5PJY2KERE4BVBAJ/L9zipqCjSti9nn1rS86x_Tiffany+Ashe%2C+LCSW-9.jpg About Tiffany Ashe, LCSW | Mindfull Melanin Therapy & Wellness - Greetings & Welcome I’m Tiffany Ashe, a holistic psychotherapist, EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist, Reiki Master and Board-Certified Hypnotherapist. I believe that everyone’s view of their own world and ability to manage it should be trusted and celebrated.

You have the power to find the best solutions for yourself and make suitable changes in your life. My job is to help you harness that power. I believe the personal is political and it is critical to address the ways in which systems hurt individuals as part of the overall treatment process. This approach ensures that you develop a strong capacity for healing and growth long after therapy is over. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f60f3c4a085d54781e2207/1627328680851-0DMLFP1BACBGFN2W7P7S/6+%282%29.png About Tiffany Ashe, LCSW | Mindfull Melanin Therapy & Wellness - What I’m Known For Helping first-generation folx heal the wounds from childhood emotional neglect and abandonment as a result of growing up in toxic family systems Assisting BIPOC women to achieve inner liberation in a world systematically designed for her oppression and suppression.

I provide trauma-conscious individual therapy and diagnostic assessments exclusively for BIPOC women recovering from childhood emotional neglect, toxic family systems, and Complex PTSD. Together we'll disarm your inner critic, release people-pleasing and perfectionism, and help you step into who you authentically are — unapologetically. https://www.mindfullmelanin.com/emdr daily 0.75 2026-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f60f3c4a085d54781e2207/1628814168988-T2SGZLYL9ESDZ9MJRISA/Go+With+That.png EMDR Therapy for Childhood Trauma & Complex PTSD - What is EMDR? Many of the women I work with carried their pain quietly for years — decades, even — before they found language for what happened to them. They survived childhoods defined by emotional neglect, unpredictability, or parents who were too consumed by their own wounds to show up for theirs. They became experts at managing, masking, and moving forward. And then one day, moving forward stopped working. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is one of the most well-researched, effective treatments available for trauma — and it is particularly powerful for the kind of complex, relational trauma that grows out of toxic family systems and childhood emotional neglect. Unlike talk therapy, which works primarily through insight and language, EMDR works directly with how your brain stores traumatic memories. Through bilateral stimulation — typically guided eye movements, tones, or taps — EMDR helps your nervous system finally process experiences that got "stuck" before they could heal. The memory doesn't disappear, but it loses its charge. What once triggered shame, panic, or dissociation begins to feel like something that happened — not something still happening to you. For survivors of complex trauma and childhood neglect, this distinction is everything. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f60f3c4a085d54781e2207/1628270496550-IUA5FCVAEMYLCH1SOZVU/unsplash-image-OExQjtxbIpE.jpg EMDR Therapy for Childhood Trauma & Complex PTSD - Who EMDR is for: EMDR at Mindfull Melanin is specifically tailored for: Complex PTSD and developmental trauma Childhood emotional neglect and abandonment Toxic family systems — narcissistic, enmeshed, or emotionally immature parents Parentification and role reversal in childhood Racial trauma and intergenerational / generational trauma Anxiety, hypervigilance, and chronic people-pleasing rooted in early experiences Depression linked to unprocessed grief or shame Attachment wounds and relationship patterns The intersection of trauma and neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism) https://www.mindfullmelanin.com/hypnotherapy daily 0.75 2026-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f60f3c4a085d54781e2207/1628271622731-E3CNYTCU4K0DIJ0JWXJM/10.png Hypnotherapy for Trauma, Anxiety & Inner Child Healing - What is Hypnotherapy? There is a part of you that learned — very early, and very wisely — how to survive. She learned to stay small, stay quiet, anticipate moods, and manage everyone else's emotions so that she could stay safe. That part of you was brilliant. And she's been running the show ever since. Hypnotherapy works at the level where those early decisions live — below conscious thought, in the subconscious patterns and stored memories that talk therapy alone can't always reach. As a Board-Certified Hypnotherapist (C.Ht) and licensed clinical social worker, I use clinical hypnotherapy as a complement to trauma-conscious psychotherapy — not as a standalone trick, but as a deeply intentional tool for accessing and healing what got buried. Clinical hypnotherapy is not stage hypnosis. You are not unconscious, not "under" anyone's control, and not made to do anything against your will. You remain fully aware throughout. What hypnotherapy does is guide you into a deeply relaxed, focused state — similar to deep meditation or prayer — where the subconscious mind becomes more receptive to healing suggestions and new beliefs. Most clients find it profoundly calming. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f60f3c4a085d54781e2207/1628271678538-Q7DCQRFY1YUUX9VNT2VY/unsplash-image-SaO8RBYC0bs.jpg Hypnotherapy for Trauma, Anxiety & Inner Child Healing - How it Can Help You For women who grew up in toxic or neglectful family systems, the roots of self-doubt, people-pleasing, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation often run deeper than conscious insight can reach. Hypnotherapy gives us access to that deeper layer. At Mindfull Melanin, hypnotherapy is particularly effective for: Inner child healing and reparenting work Releasing deeply held shame and self-blame from childhood Breaking cycles of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and overthinking Anxiety and chronic hypervigilance rooted in early experiences Unwanted relationship patterns linked to attachment wounds Sleep disturbances and nervous system dysregulation Grief, loss, and emotional processing Strengthening the sense of self after years of identity suppression Hypnotherapy is offered as a package series following an initial intake session, allowing the work to build progressively over time. Sessions are available via telehealth to clients in North Carolina and Virginia, and as a wellness service, hypnotherapy coaching may also be available to clients outside these states — please inquire. https://www.mindfullmelanin.com/reiki daily 0.75 2026-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f60f3c4a085d54781e2207/1628303382714-E7295D5A5YOVNUGOCLB1/13.png Reiki Energy Healing for Trauma & Nervous System Recovery - What is Reiki? Healing from childhood trauma and toxic family systems isn't only a cognitive process — it lives in the body too. Years of hypervigilance, emotional suppression, and chronic stress leave their signature in the nervous system, in patterns of tension, disconnection, and exhaustion that talk therapy alone doesn't always reach. Reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice that works at exactly this level. As a Reiki Master (Usui Shiki Ryoho), I use Reiki to help clients reconnect with their bodies, release energetic blockages stored from unprocessed trauma, and create the conditions of safety and groundedness that deep healing requires. Because Reiki works with energy rather than physical touch or location, distance Reiki sessions are just as effective as in-person ones — which means this service is available to you no matter where you are in the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f60f3c4a085d54781e2207/1628303977162-TS2DR0O0AL8ZV2NV9DP9/14.png Reiki Energy Healing for Trauma & Nervous System Recovery - Why Use Reiki? For survivors of childhood emotional neglect and toxic family systems, the body often holds what the mind has tried to move past. Reiki creates space for that deeper release. When integrated with trauma-conscious psychotherapy, Reiki can help you: Calm a chronically activated nervous system and reduce hypervigilance Release trauma stored as physical tension, heaviness, or numbness in the body Build a felt sense of safety in your own body — often for the first time Process grief, shame, and emotional pain that feels too heavy for words Deepen your capacity to be present during therapy and in daily life Restore energy depleted by years of masking, caretaking, and surviving Support spiritual reconnection and inner peace Reiki sessions are 60 minutes and available as a standalone service or as a complement to ongoing therapy. Distance sessions are available to clients worldwide. In-person sessions may be available in Raleigh and the Eastern Wake County (Garner, Clayton, Knightdale, Wendell) area, please inquire. https://www.mindfullmelanin.com/client-portal daily 0.75 2024-02-21
