Our Story: Helping You Rewrite Your Narrative
Our Story
In 2018, Mandisa Jones had a vision. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and proud Chicagoan, she was frustrated by how difficult it was for people to access the mental health care they needed. She saw too many people feeling stuck, unheard, and unsupported—and she knew something had to change.
Mandisa wanted to create more than just a counseling practice; she wanted to build a space where healing wasn’t just possible—it was accessible, compassionate, and tailored to meet people where they were. But her vision didn’t stop there.
She also wanted Ashe Counseling to be a place where her team could thrive. Mandisa believed that when therapists and staff feel supported, valued, and empowered, they deliver better care—and they grow alongside the people they serve.
Today, Ashe Counseling & Coaching isn’t just a practice; it’s a movement. It’s a space where people from all walks of life find the support they need to heal, grow, and thrive. And it’s a place where talented professionals come to develop their skills, pursue their passions, and be part of something bigger.
From individuals and families to the team itself, Mandisa built Ashe Counseling to empower everyone’s story—and we’re just getting started.
The word “Ashé” comes from the Yoruba language and means “the power to make things happen.” For us, it represents the belief that change is always possible.
