first visit

  • Yay! You’re here! If it’s your first time, I will meet you in the lobby (on the left after you enter the main sliding glass doors).

    We can also arrange to use a private entrance, just let me know before we meet.

  • Lobby. While you wait, grab a cup of coffee, tea, or water from the bar area. Get comfy on a couch, at the bar, or at a high top.

    Restrooms. If you need the restroom, it’ll be straight ahead and on the right, once you enter the main doors. There’s also a family restroom, if you turn right down the purple painted hallway off the lobby. You’ll see that one on the right.

  • First sessions last 60 minutes and will generally consist of confirming your identity using a form of ID, reviewing important aspects of the therapeutic experience, and beginning to elaborate on what is bringing you in.

  • The main gravel parking lot takes you to a set of concrete stairs that will lead you towards a ramp to the main sliding glass doors.

    The sliding glass doors are immediately to the right of the accessible parking area.

    When visiting after 5pm, the main doors will be locked, so if you arrive early, I suggest waiting in your car until your appointment time. I’ll meet you at the doors to let you in!

  • If you’re scheduled for a session at 5pm or later, Mary Ashley must let you into the building. In this case, I recommend:

    • Text me at 864-300-0106 to let me know when you have arrived. Then…

    • (A) You might wait in your car until I respond to your text and tell you I’m ready to meet you at the main door to let you in.

    • (B) Or you could head towards the main entrance at your appointment time, where I’ll meet you and let you in.
