Please note that at this time, Ashley does not conduct formal assessments for diagnosis of ASD or ADHD.  Ashley provides support and affirmative care for people who are part of the LGTBQI+ community.

An initial session with Ashley will involve understanding your values and what your goals are and the barriers to success you are currently facing. Ashley uses a gentle and non-judgemental counselling style and works collaboratively with you to meet these goals. She is trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Ashley understands that traditional talk therapy is not everyone’s cup of tea and provides additional support for clients in expressing themselves through writing, non-verbal communication, and art.
