Ashley Araki, MSW, LMSW

Hi! I am Ashley Araki Thompson, and my pronouns are she/they. I am a certified birth and bereavement doula through SBD (stillbirthday) and I am also a Licensed Master of Social Work. I am currently engaged with a team doing research aimed toward trauma informed care for birthing individuals and am working full time as a behavioral health therapist in a local DFW hospital. I look forward to serving clients at the LIV center during alternative (Evening and Weekend) hours. In my personal life, I'm a leader in my inclusive faith community.

I am passionate about reproductive justice, trauma informed birth, and hold a strong feminist and systems perspective to therapy and mental health. My frameworks focus on narrative therapy, CBT, strengths perspective, and trauma-informed care.
