- The life force and creative power that flows through all things; the power to make things happen.
- An affirmation spoken after a prayer or intention, meaning “and so it is” or “so be it.”
Helping people feel supported, understood, and empowered to move forward.
Ashé Counseling & Coaching was built on the belief that therapy should feel human, accessible, and grounded in real connection. We help individuals, couples, teens, and families navigate life’s challenges with support that is thoughtful, compassionate, and practical.
A name that holds power, and possibility.
We chose Ashé because we believe every person already carries the power to change. Therapy is where that power gets room to breathe.
When you speak an intention for your healing, your relationships, or your future, Ashé is the answer back: it can be so, and it will be.
Born in the South Loop to help people feel seen, supported, and equipped to heal.
Ashé opened its doors in 2018 in Chicago’s South Loop, because too often, people struggle to find mental health care that feels approachable, responsive, and connected to their real lives.
Founder Mandisa Jones, LCSW, created Ashé to be more than a therapy practice. She envisioned a space where high-quality mental health care could coexist with warmth, authenticity, creativity, and community impact. Meet Mandisa.
Today, Ashé provides therapy across Illinois and Texas, helping clients work through anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and personal growth.
To empower individuals, couples, and families by delivering superior quality mental wellness services.
We kept the receipts.
What started as one small office in the South Loop has grown into a team of 30+ clinicians, two Chicago offices, and virtual care across two states. Here’s how we got here.

Pinned to the wall, always.
You are not meant to carry everything alone.
Life can become overwhelming when stress, trauma, relationships, or emotional exhaustion pile up. Therapy creates space to pause, process, and reconnect with yourself.
We guide, you lead the journey.
Our role is not to tell you who to become. It’s to help you uncover clarity, build healthier patterns, and move toward the life you want.
Healing should feel possible.
Whether you’re starting therapy for the first time or returning after time away, we make the process approachable, supportive, and manageable.
- Healing isn’t linear.
- Rest is productive.
- Asking for help is a strength.
- Progress over perfection.
- You’re allowed to take up space.
- Feelings are information.
- Small steps still count.
Starting therapy should feel simple.
Getting support shouldn’t feel confusing or intimidating. Our process is designed to connect you with care that fits your needs and goals.
