What Sets Us Apart
All About Us
At Bright Seeds Counseling, we believe that even the smallest seed—a kind word, a safe space, a playful breakthrough—can grow into lasting transformation. Every interaction is an opportunity to plant hope and nurture growth. Rooted in compassion and guided by hope, we create a supportive and welcoming environment where children, teens, and adults can safely explore their emotions, build resilience, and discover healthy ways to navigate life’s challenges.
Our Approach
We use evidence-based and creative, developmentally appropriate techniques to help clients strengthen coping skills, foster self-awareness, and grow into the fullness of their potential.

CBT is a goal-oriented, evidence-based approach that helps individuals understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Clients learn practical tools to manage stress, overcome challenges, and build healthier habits, fostering lasting emotional and behavioral growth.

Meet Ashley
Hi, I’m Ashley – a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and Play Therapist in Training, Supervised by Alyssa Cedillo, M.A., LPC-S, RPT-S, IP-CST. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Mary’s University and a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Texas State University.
I believe healing begins in safe, supportive spaces where emotions can be seen, named, and understood. Using a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach, I explore the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while fostering hope, strength, and possibility. I work with each individual to build on their existing strengths, helping them grow in confidence, resilience, and emotional awareness.
My experience spans early childhood through young adulthood. I began as a school-based counselor for children ages 3–13, supporting students through trauma, grief, family transitions, bullying, and everyday school stress, helping them develop coping skills they could carry into all areas of life. I also spent six years as a college and career counselor, guiding teens and young adults in career exploration, college admissions, workforce readiness, and personal growth. These experiences shape my work today—whether in the playroom with a child, with a teen preparing for the future, or supporting adults navigating life’s challenges, my goal is to help every client feel seen, empowered, and supported as they build resilience and reach their fullest potential.
