About Me

Hi! My name is Ashley Hatfield and I help people overcome mental health challenges and life’s obstacles by sharing both my expertise and lived experienced. I encourage conventional therapy and daily wellness practices supported by a faith-filled life full of God’s wisdom.

I am a Certified Christian Life Coach through NowBloom Academy, where I deepened my understanding of emotional resilience, identity in Christ, and faith-rooted transformation - tools I now weave into every message I share.

I am currently in Divinity School pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Religion with a Concentration in Christian Counseling and a Minor in Psychology from Liberty University. I also have a Bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism from Emerson College. And I am a certified Life Coach through the Transformation Academy and a certified Holistic Health Coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition.

I have worked hard through CBT, DBT, and my own studying to overcome my struggles with Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, OCD, and Complex PTSD. I also suffered from Postpartum Depression and Psychosis after the birth of my second child. In addition to therapy and medication, I have committed myself to lifestyle changes that reduce the symptoms of my mental illnesses, including: getting sober, regular exercise, intentional rest, learning to set and enforce boundaries, removing negative influences in my life, seeking out and nurturing positive relationships, embracing my church community, and building a life full of purpose.

The most significant life event for me was becoming a Born-Again Christian at the age of 26. I have built so much confidence and self-love through my faith journey by learning that God loves me, covers me in His grace, and has a purpose for my pain. My relationship with God has taught me that everything I have suffered – and everything I have done to heal from my suffering – has brought me into a position of being able to help others.

I want to use my testimony and knowledge to show people that they can overcome any obstacle and live the life of their dreams as God intended. A mental health challenge is not a death sentence, it is simply an obstacle to overcome - and one that God has already equipped you for. No matter your suffering, there is still so much life left to live! I have suffered abuse, sexual assaults, multiple traumatic events, and very severe mental illnesses. But, through hard work and unwavering faith, I have built a beautiful life full of love, purpose, and genuine happiness.

In my personal life, I am a wife to my husband, Mark; mother to my young children, Natalie and Ronan; and dog mom to my rescues, Minnie Belle and Mace. I love spending time with my family, exercising, cooking, reading personal and professional development books, and serving and doing activities with my church family.

I would love the opportunity to work with you by providing one-on-one or group coaching, giving a motivational speech to your organization or community, doing a workshop to help your community set and achieve their goals, or write for your audience. It’s time to stop tripping over your hurdles and start leaping over them! And I can help you do just that.

Yours in Healing,

Ashley
