Meet Me
Ashlynn WIgen, LMSW
My name is Ashlynn Wigen and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Mental health is my passion, which is why I decided to pursue a career dedicated to supporting individuals on their own mental health journeys.
I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work from Lewis-Clark State College and my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Boise State University. I have experience working with children, teens, families, couples and adults. In the present, I enjoy working primarily with adult women. I am an inclusive and secular therapist and I am LGBTQ+ affirming. I am trained in EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing. During EMDR, individuals focus on a traumatic memory while experiencing bilateral stimulation. This stimulation reduces the distressing emotion associated with the memory. I utilize this intervention as needed to treat trauma and promote healing. I have seen immense progress happen with my clients by using this intervention!
I understand how intimidating scheduling that first therapy session may be. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgemental space where you feel heard, empowered, valued and understood. I want to ensure that I have a solid understanding of your goals for therapy. We will work together to ensure you are getting what you need out of your therapy sessions and feel that you are on the path to growth and healing.
On a more personal note, I am an avid reader and podcast listener. I enjoy being active, whether that be through weight lifting, hiking or yoga. I love to cook, learn, travel and spend time with family, friends and my two fur babies.
