Ashley Beech-Mavrantzas, Jacksonville FL

Ashley is such an amazing counselor and so easy to talk to. I currently do cognitive talk therapy & EMDR trauma therapy with her and both are highly effective. EMDR therapy with Ashley is so effective and freeing it’s almost a miracle how good it works! I had a very dark secret / trauma that I did not want anyone to ever know. I knew that I needed therapy for this trauma which meant I HAD to talk about it. Ashley was so empathetic and caring when it was time to relive the memory in EMDR therapy. She didn’t judge me, was gentle with me and soothing to me. I felt very safe telling Ashley my secretive trauma. At the end of the session I was so desensitized by my original horrible memory that I didn’t need anymore therapy about that memory. The emotions and traumatic feelings were gone! I was able to move on from the guilt and shame of that traumatic event & never really think of it again. Ashley makes it very easy to talk to her; I am an open book with Ashley. If ever I wanted to just talk instead of doing EMDR therapy Ashley always accommodated my needs, agreeing to talk to me. I always leave Ashley’s office feeling like I’ve accomplished something in my therapy that day & I always have added self confidence, which is something I normally struggle with. Ashley uses creative technics and is always willing to try a new approach to therapy. I am thankful that I have Ashley as a therapist & would recommend her to anyone!

The worst experience of my life and I have had many experiences with people, but you would think that when seeking out some type of therapy or”help” that you would at least get a little bit of professionalism, but this was the complete opposite.

Ashley has made my life worse off than it was before I started seeing her in 2019, going into 2020 when Covid started.

We did plenty of zoom calls, but she would fall asleep on the phone, and even when I had went to her office, there were several occasions where I would be speaking to her and venting, and she would be snoring in the middle of our session.

I let this go, and I still continued for another year to see her and have therapist client relationship, but then there was a point that she and my husband (now EX) would talk behind my back about me and she even showed up at my house! Which I found to be really bizarre and was upset with me when I told her that I would no longer be coming to her because she really caused a lot more harm and drama in my life then what was already going on.

Then she proceeded to make it seem like she was going above, and beyond to be there to support me when I told her, and expressed to her not to come to my home.

Then maliciously, she refused to answer any of my calls, and she also responded to me and called me “sick” and claims I threatened her.

Lord after lies.

I regret the day that I met Ashley and I would never recommend anyone to go see this woman. She is super Shystie and fraudulent.

I’m trying to figure out how I can move forward with litigation because she went against HIPAA laws, and somehow she is clever enough to find the loopholes and cover herself. She is not a nice person and doesn’t deserve to hold her title and should have her license taken away.

This was the worst experience ever. When I decided not to use her services any longer she threaten to call DCF and report me for spanking my daughter 4 years ago. I am shocked that she is still in business and she is not helping patients being unprofessional and unethical. I'm trying to figure out how many laws she actually broke before I move forward legally.
