Ashlee Guest is a graduate-level intern therapist in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and is preparing to begin their practicum training in January 2027. Within the university's chapter of Chi Sigma Iota, the international counseling honor society, they serve as a Program Representative and Peer Mentor. They also hold a B.S. in Psychology with a certificate in Women & Gender Studies from the University of Houston-Clear Lake.
Ashlee brings experience in crisis intervention, student advocacy, peer support, and empowerment-focused work. As a Dual Credit Coach for Brazosport College, they have helped students navigate academic transitions, stress, and motivation. They also volunteered for The Trevor Project for a year and a half, where they learned to remain present with youth during some of their most vulnerable moments and help them create a path to safety. Ashlee's background in empowerment photography additionally given them experience working with body image, identity, self-expression, and confidence.
Ashlee approaches counseling from a humanistic, strengths-based perspective and brings a warm, encouraging presence to their work. They value authentic therapeutic relationships and creating collaborative, inclusive spaces where clients feel understood as whole people rather than reduced to diagnoses or symptoms, including all of the complicated, contradictory, and occasionally messy parts.
