Get to know Ashly
My personal connection to OCD and mental health
My whole family struggles with anxiety and depression. I myself have general anxiety disorder. This is what led me into the social work field to begin with. That helps me be a little bit more empathetic with Members who have also been struggling with these things, while dealing with OCD.
How I create a safe, supportive environment in therapy
Most people tell me they feel like they're talking with a friend when they're talking with me. They really enjoy my directness because they've been looking for answers for a while.
What I want to you to know about ERP therapy
ERP is a little scary and it is totally understandable to be scared to start. But here at NOCD, we are very much invested in being collaborative partners. You're going to be the boss. If you feel you're not ready for a certain exposure—you're not ready. Let's see how we can get you there.
My message to you if you're struggling right now
You are strong enough to deal with OCD. I want you to feel that power, that strength, and to know that you are not what these intrusive thoughts are. You are so much more than that.

Ashley Huffstatler is there for her patients and genuinely cares about their welll being. She recently had surgery and is still working from her recliner.....determined to continue her valued care even in the midst of trying to recover from surgery. She's amazing. I can't express how much I appreciate and feel blessed to have her as my therapist.

Ashley Huffstatler it's a Godsend. She has given me the tools I need to overcome OCD when it arises. And not have i been tested this week!

Ashley Huffstatler has made some a positive impact on my everyday mental health and has been there every step along the way in getting my life back on track. She's gentle, kind, and so knowledgeable. I know she genuinely cares about her patients. She's encouraging when I need support and always has superb advice. The times I've needed her to message me in between sessions she has come to my aid several times. I am so lucky to have her.

Ashley Huffstatler is a genuinely kind and very patient person. When you open up to her, you feel safe and never judged. One of my favorite things about her, and, in my opinion, rare, is how very approachable she is. She is very intelligent and professional but you feel like you are talking to a friend that cares about you. I feel lucky to be matched with her.

I'm really pleased with the format of ERP in our sessions. I appreciate that my therapist has realistic expectations. She uses concrete methods that feel measurable and satisfying. If I do a good job I can actually tell during our session.

Really excited to start working with Ashly!
N.M.
So grateful for Ashly’s compassionate wisdom and at the same time firm guidance
O.D.
Ashly was the best therapist I’ve worked with. I had to transfer therapists because I moved to a different country, which was really difficult because I finally found a therapist I felt comfortable with. She is compassionate and understanding, but always pushes you to do your best and do the things that make you uncomfortable. When I started therapy 2 months ago, I never thought that my symptoms would decrease as much as they did. I am so thankful that I got to work with Ashly, she really helped me understand my OCD and provide me with the tools to manage on my own. I’m sad I can’t continue to work with her, but I am eternally grateful for her approach, her kindness, and her dedication to helping conquer OCD. Thank you Ashly, for changing my view of therapy.
J.D.
Ashly have good suggestions!

M.C.
I'm still new to NOCD & just getting started with ERP but so far working with my trained therapist has been valuable. Before finding NOCD I was so scared to share my struggles because I was afraid what would happen to me if someone didnt understand, but I also knew I couldn't fight this on my own anymore so I felt trapped. My first session I felt seen, heard and was met with compassion & understanding. I never felt judged and now have someone on my side who understands and can help me through this.
J.D.
ASHLY has helped me get to a good place. Now we're pushing for even better!
