Meet Ally Ponte
Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate
My therapeutic approach is rooted in client-centered principles, emphasizing the creation of a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to authentically explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences with compassion. My approach is rooted in mindfulness-based principles, drawing from evidence-informed practices to help clients build present-moment awareness and practical skills for navigating stress, anxiety, depression, and life’s emotional challenges. I believe in the healing power of mindful connection—with ourselves, our stories, and our growth.
I hold a strong belief in the significance of honoring each individual's unique journey and experiences. Drawing from my background as a military veteran, I understand the intricate nature of trauma and its profound impact on mental health and well-being. Guided by a collaborative, holistic, and trauma-informed therapeutic approach, I integrate mindfulness practices with elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy. My aim is to empower individuals to reclaim their sense of agency and embark on a healing journey tailored to their needs and terms.
When I'm not engaged in therapeutic work, you can find me indulging in my hobbies. Whether its curling up with a good book, hiking the trails with my corgi companion, casting a line while fishing, or exploring the Pacific Northwest with my husband, I find joy in the simple moments and the beauty of nature. These experiences enrich my life and remind me of the importance of connection, resilience, and self-discovery.
