About

Dr. Ashley Eaton England is a licensed clinical psychologist with specialized training in helping individuals navigate aging-related concerns and adjustment to medical illness. She works with adults experiencing a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, caregiving stress, changes in health or functioning, and major life transitions.

Dr. Eaton England’s approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She believes in person-centered care that builds on each individual’s strengths and tailors treatment to their unique values, goals, and needs. She strives to create a supportive space where individuals can explore what matters most to them, develop effective coping strategies, and make meaningful progress toward their goals.

In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Eaton England has been involved in research exploring well-being in later life and adjustment to medical illness for patients and their families. She is an active member of several psychological and gerontological organizations dedicated to improving care for older adults and individuals living with serious or chronic illness.
