Annie Ashby, MSW

Clinical Care Manager - Seattle Team

Focused on Self-Empowerment

For several years, I have dedicated my work in social services to partnering with children, teens, and older adults in various settings, from schools to medical facilities. My background includes hands-on experience at Cascade Public Schools and Cascade Medical Center, where I gained a holistic understanding of the diverse challenges clients face throughout different stages of life. By combining compassion with innovative techniques, I strive to ensure that each person I support can thrive in their own unique way.
