About us
Hi, I'm Ashley!
Ashley Fehringer, LGPC
Therapist
What I do at Aspire.
I began at Aspire as an intern in 2023, and am excited to now be working part-time as an LGPC therapist. I love participating in Aspire staff events and volunteering with Aspire at their many community events.
Why I became a Therapist.
My journey began with serving in the Peace Corps in Guatemala, where I not only worked at a local health center but was also honored to be selected to provide peer support to fellow volunteers facing mental health challenges during their service. This experience sparked my passion for supporting others' wellbeing and helping them unlock their full potential. Building on this, I have been working with the University of Maryland to support preschool teachers working with children who exhibit challenging behaviors. I deeply enjoy coaching teachers, offering them a safe, non-judgmental space to reflect, grow, and share openly. This rewarding work inspired me to pursue my second master's degree in psychology at the University of Baltimore. Through every step of my journey, I’ve realized how much I thrive in roles that allow me to empower others and support their personal and professional growth.
Why I chose to work at Aspire.
While completing my Master's in Applied Psychology at the University of Baltimore, I worked with Aspire for two semesters, completing my required field practicum. Working for Aspire as an intern was an absolutely amazing experience! This is such a unique organization full of amazing people. From admins, to supervisors, to therapists, every person I come in contact with is so kind and welcoming and always there to help. When I was given the opportunity to continue my journey with Aspire following graduation, I jumped at the chance! I cannot imagine a better place to grow and learn as a new therapist!
My Hobbies and Interests.
My Husband and I love to support the greatest football team in the world, THE ARSENAL, and you will regularly find us at the local Charm City supporters club during the season. I also love to travel and have most recently visited Japan, Ireland, England and France! I cannot wait to see where my travels take me next. I also enjoy the quieter side of life and on any day you can find me sipping coffee at my favorite local cafes journaling about life.
