There are therapists who help you talk about your pain.
And then there are guides who help you walk through it — who understand that healing doesn’t just happen in conversation, but in movement, breath, and community.

Ashley Kuehne is one of those rare guides.

With over 25 years of experience in trauma and addiction recovery — and credentials that bridge the clinical and the holistic — she’s become known as a pioneer in embodied healing.
A Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S), Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), EMDRIA-Certified Therapist & Consultant, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Licensed Acudetox Specialist (ADS) with the Texas Medical Board, Ashley has built a reputation for helping clients rediscover wholeness through integrative, experiential, and deeply human work.

But what truly distinguishes her is not her expertise — it’s her philosophy:

“Healing isn’t something we think our way into. It’s something we experience when the body finally feels safe enough to let go.”

From Talk to Transformation: The Rise of Immersive Healing Retreats

After two decades of clinical practice, Ashley noticed a pattern: people were making progress, but something deeper was calling to be healed — something that couldn’t always unfold in a traditional therapy setting.

That insight led to Embodied Experiences, a company she co-founded with Ashley Rogers, LPC-S, SEP, to host immersive retreats designed to move healing beyond the therapy room.

These retreats bring together science, mindfulness, creative expression, and community connection to create a setting where the body and mind can finally align.
They are not “getaways” — they’re containers for transformation.

In October, Ashley will host a Working Women’s Retreat in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, focused on burnout recovery, nervous system regulation, and rediscovering purpose through rest and embodiment.

In January, she’ll lead a Mini Retreat for Menopausal Women in Dallas, Texas, exploring the intersection of hormonal change, identity, and emotional resilience.

Each retreat blends clinical structure with soulful connection — a balance of grounded science and sacred space that allows healing to feel both safe and profound.

“These retreats aren’t about escaping life,” Ashley says.
“They’re about returning to yourself — to the wisdom that’s been waiting underneath the noise.”

🔬 The New Frontier of Healing: Where Science Meets Soul

Ashley’s approach reflects a growing global movement — a shift from talk-based therapy to experiential, body-centered healing.
Recent studies in Frontiers in Psychology show that somatic and expressive therapies activate areas of the brain linked to emotional integration and self-awareness, such as the insula and anterior cingulate cortex.

This isn’t abstract theory — it’s biology.
When trauma is processed through the body — through movement, rhythm, and mindful awareness — neural networks reorganize. The brain rewires for calm, connection, and creativity.

Ashley’s sessions and retreats are built around this principle: that healing is an embodied state, not an intellectual concept.
Through expressive arts, EMDR, mindfulness, and somatic grounding, she helps people shift from survival to presence — from coping to creating.

“The body holds the story of everything we’ve lived through,” Ashley says.
“But it also holds the blueprint for how to heal.”

The Therapist Behind the Transformation

Ashley’s journey has always been about integration — bringing together the clinical and the spiritual, the structured and the intuitive.
As a Certified Trauma Professional, Parenting the Love and Logic Way® Facilitator, Somatic Experiencing® Intermediate II student, and Licensed Acudetox Specialist, she brings rigor and compassion in equal measure.

Through her private practice, Ashley Counseling & Associates, she works with individuals seeking holistic trauma recovery, emotional regulation, and creative expression.

Through Embodied Experiences, she extends that work into shared spaces — guiding groups of women and helping professionals toward collective healing, connection, and empowerment.

“When people come together to heal,” she says, “something ancient awakens. Community becomes medicine.”
