About me
Hi, I’m Ashleigh. Welcome in.
Founder of Freebird Counseling & Wellness, a small, cozy practice in Bentonville, Arkansas.
I’m Ashleigh Teeter, founder of Freebird Counseling & Wellness. My path to counseling grew from my background in nursing and an interest in the connection between emotional and physical well-being.
I earned my Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling at Southern Arkansas University, and I’m a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) in Arkansas.
My practice includes religious trauma and recovery from high-control environments, helping clients explore their beliefs, reclaim their identity, and reconnect with their own values. I also support clients navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions, and I offer LGBTQ+ affirming care.
I combine exploration of past experiences with mindfulness and body awareness to help clients understand their patterns and develop tools for feeling more grounded.
My priority is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and understood.
My approach
How we’ll work together
Every person and every story is different, so our work is shaped around you. Most of it draws on three threads.
-
Look back, gently
We’ll explore past experiences at a pace that feels okay, so the patterns showing up today start to make sense.
-
Come back to your body
Mindfulness and body awareness help you notice what you’re feeling and build tools for feeling more grounded.
-
Find your own way
Explore your beliefs, reclaim your identity, and reconnect with values that feel truly your own.
