Professional statement

Dr. Ashley Ebbert is a licensed clinical psychologist based in Venice, California, who works with individuals and couples ready to untangle relationship struggles, break out of unhelpful patterns, and start showing up differently in their lives. Her work is grounded in the belief that relationships are at the core of how we experience the world, and she helps clients approach them with greater clarity, intention, and authenticity.

Known for her straightforward and engaging style, Dr. Ebbert takes a personalized and collaborative approach to therapy. She helps clients stop circling the same issues and start making meaningful changes. Whether it’s working through dating challenges, improving communication, or exploring bigger questions about identity and purpose, she focuses on uncovering what’s not working, figuring out why, and building tools to create something better.

She also works with couples who want to reconnect, communicate more effectively, and deepen intimacy. Her approach helps partners make sense of their dynamics, address frustrations without defensiveness, and build relationships that feel supportive, intentional, and secure.

With a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and specialized training in relationship dynamics, attachment theory, and evidence-based approaches, Dr. Ebbert offers a focused, grounded space for reflection and growth. Whether meeting in person at her Venice office or remotely across California, Dr. Ebbert helps clients create thoughtful, lasting changes that continue to evolve beyond therapy.


Message to clients

Relationships are at the center of how we experience life—whether we’re trying to find the right relationship, improve the one we’re in, or simply feel more at home with ourselves. But when those connections feel strained or uncertain, it can be hard to know where to start. I specialize in helping people untangle complicated dynamics, build self-awareness, and clarify what they really want so they can show up more fully in their lives and relationships.

Therapy with me is direct, insightful, and grounded in meaningful conversations that lead to lasting change. I take an active approach—helping you understand why certain patterns keep showing up and giving you the tools to break out of them. Whether we’re uncovering root causes of recurring challenges, working through self-esteem issues, or exploring questions about identity and purpose, my focus is on helping you move forward with greater clarity and connection.

If you’re ready to take a closer look at what’s working, what’s not, and what’s possible, let’s get started.
