We were lucky to catch up with Ashley Martin recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Ashley thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?

My defining moment was when I thought I lost it all but soon realized I had everything I needed and more. It was 2020, I was pregnant and got injured at work. My FMLA ran out and I wasn’t able to return. I was terminated with no income. Once I delivered my baby I got post preeclampsia and was remitted back into the hospital. All I could do was keep living. I was a single mom but had my family there for support throughout. I got back from the hospital and started thinking to myself what can I do from home to make money. I begun looking for at home jobs being a clinician and it all became clearer. With all the experience and knowledge I have let me use what I already have to market myself. It worked!!! I now have 2 private practices that specialize is mental health, evaluations/testing/competency, substance abuse, Autism, IDD, and individual/family therapy.

Ashley , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I am a very active and dedicated business owner that set the blueprint for staff to provide adequate services with integrity. I believe in professional development and treating everyone with respect.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

Word of mouth has been the most effective strategy. When the service is of quality people will share the word.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

For every door closed I have used those moments has motivation to keep pushing because an overflow is near.
