About Me
Ashley Kolbe MS, LMFT-S, RPT-S
I am passionate about supporting and advocating for my clients as they work towards their goals. I believe that therapy is for everyone and that embarking on this journey with an open mind allows clients to gain new perspectives and increased awareness of their current situation. I utilize research-based therapeutic theories and interventions to assist clients in making change as efficiently as possible.

I attended the University of Northern Iowa for my under-graduate degree in psychology. During this time I discovered a passion and desire to be able to help individuals and families succeed and grow.
After completing my major course work I transitioned to completing my Master's degree at St. Cloud State University in Marriage and Family Therapy. The focus of my studies allowed me to connect my core values and upbringing with my passion for helping others and individuals.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors with by Doberman, making quilts and reading.
