Ashley Valcarcel is finishing up her last year at Wilmington University, studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Upon completion, she will hold a master’s degree and, soon after, become a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC). She also holds an undergraduate degree in psychology with a minor in education from the University of Delaware. She has experience working in the community at the Latin American Community Center, serving as a mentor for children. She hopes to gain clinical experience working with a diverse group of individuals and offer support, warmth, understanding, and compassion to her clients. Her passion for helping others is what led her here. She values connection with others. She takes a special interest in holistic care, addressing the physical, spiritual, mental, emotional, and social aspects of health. She plans to continue her education, hoping to one day earn her Psy.D. in psychology. Outside of practice, she looks forward to starting a family.
