ASHLEY MCKAY

I’ve been a registered Social Worker since 2013, originally in NL and in Ontario as of 2018. The essence of my work is to facilitate self-growth by helping you identify the core challenges and setbacks in your life, so that you can overcome them with confidence.

I hold a Psychology major, as well as a bachelor and master’s in social work, specializing in mental health. My experience also includes working with clients with a broad range of difficulties, such as addictions, trauma, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, separation, grief, and more. While I work with individuals of all ages, my specialization is with children, youth and adolescents.

I offer services unique to individual need in order to assist those who are facing difficult life situations and decisions. I strive to develop a unique relationship with individuals so we can target their utmost important goals. Using a variety of techniques, I provide support to help broaden and strengthen one’s present coping abilities and develop new healing insights to overcome a variety of challenges. Specifically, my preferred modalities are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and EMDR.

Often times, we are fearful to open up about our problems, but the truth is we all need someone to talk to! That’s what I’m here for – to address absolutely anything that’s dwelling on your mind, in a confidential and safe environment.
