Ashley Burkhardt, Intake Coordinator

I was born and raised in New York, and after a California chapter filled with coastal hikes and ocean sunsets, I’ve made my way back home to crisp fall air, rainbow-hued leaves, and bagels that remind you what real carbs are supposed to taste like.

I’m currently back in school while balancing as Wellspring’s intake coordinator, a role I cherish deeply. As the first voice clients hear, I hope to create a sense of safety, compassion, and warmth right from the start

Therapy has played a major role in my own life, showing me that growth, healing, and transformation isn’t always linear, but is always possible. I believe that everyone deserves a space where they feel seen and supported, and I’m grateful to help create that from the very first call.

When I’m not working or studying, you’ll find me lost in a book, writing articles, rewatching my favorite movies, or quoting lines from the ’90s classics. I share my life (and most of my popcorn) with my husband and our three dramatic, adorable cats.
