Ashley Frech Hernandez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate and Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist. She earned her Master of Science in Psychology with emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Our Lady of the Lake University and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Texas A&M University.

Prior to joining Rejoice, Ashley worked as a counselor in catholic schools and at crisis pregnancy centers. During that time, she served both youth and adults in individual, couple, and family settings. She has walked with clients as they navigate through life’s most difficult challenges: physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, trauma, loss, anxiety, depression, relational discord, and more.

Rooted in the tenants of the catholic faith, but also incorporating the latest, evidence based psychological research, Ashley desires to bring the greatest healing possible to her clients. Her clinical practice draws from Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Gottman method for couples.

When she is not working, Ashley enjoys spending time with her husband and daughter, extended family, and friends. Playing board games, making new recipes, and HIIT workouts are her favorite form of self care. Ashley, her husband, and daughter enjoy attending Mass with the Community of St. John in Laredo.
