ASHLEY RAMDAT

Ashley is a Registered Social Worker with experience in community mental health, child and youth programming, and crisis intervention. She holds a Master of Social Work degree and is passionate about helping children and teens navigate emotional, behavioural, and relationship challenges.

Ashley brings a warm, supportive, and empathetic approach to therapy. She believes every young person carries a unique "backpack" of experiences, challenges, and strengths. Her goal is to explore what may help "lighten the load" by creating a space where children and teens can slow down, feel comfortable, and connect, so they feel understood, valued, and confident being themselves.

Ashley works with young people experiencing anxiety, overwhelming emotions, low self-esteem, behavioural challenges, family concerns, and life transitions. She draws on evidence-informed approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, tailoring sessions to each client's unique needs and interests.

Ashley helps young people understand their emotions, recognize their strengths, and develop practical coping skills for everyday life. She encourages curiosity, exploration, and trying new things at a pace that feels comfortable.

Ashley's goal: to help children and teens feel more confident, capable, and better equipped to navigate life's challenges.
