Ashley Hertner
M.C., Registered Psychologist
I am a Registered Psychologist and have acquired my master’s degree from City University of Seattle. My experience and interests include working with individuals, parents, couples, and families who experience challenges in the following areas: anxiety, depression, tolerating distress, emotional dysregulation, boundary setting, stress management, life transitions, trauma, intrapersonal relations, interpersonal relationships & communication. After 5+ years of working in the non-profit sector, I have a growing passion in serving individuals who have experienced traumatic events or adverse experiences. As well, a special interest in serving those who encounter experiences with emotional sensitivity.
I provide counselling to adolescents (16 years old+), adults, and couples.
My therapeutic approach draws from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Informed Therapies, Person-Centered, Strength-Based, Solution-Focused and Attachment-Based approaches. I find value in utilizing such approaches grounded in evidence-based research and compassion to assist clients in evoking their fullest potential from within. I aspire to support my clients in building an authentic and meaningful life.
I have obtained the Gottman Method Couple’s Therapy Level 1 and 2. As well as training in the following modalities of therapy, including: Dialectic Behavioral Therapy Comprehensive & Skills Training, Emotion-Focused Attachment Science, Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (basic and advanced trainings) and am also diligent in extracting skillsets which draw from a Trauma-Informed lens.
Whether it be to process, build skills, or provide a safe space… I welcome your story, and I look forward to serving you with humility, integrity, and a culture of care.
Ashley is currently offering in-person and online appointments.
Please note that online therapy is only available for individuals living within the province of Alberta.
