I focus on building a strong relationship with you based in openness and collaboration.
Life often sends things our way we feel unprepared for, which can make us feel stuck, scared, or lost. Psychotherapy can help to develop the skills to navigate through what we cannot expect. Recognizing the cultural differences in acknowledging mental health, it is important for me to provide a space for all individuals to explore their challenges and overcome their obstacles. To me, therapy is about self-awareness and healing. It takes a lot of courage to seek help, and I admire your first step into this unknown. By seeking support, you have already taken the first vital step towards self-growth.

At times we all feel anxious and stressed, uncertain or dissatisfied with life. We can find ourselves struggling to cope with certain feelings, behaviours or thoughts that seem to have a life of their own, causing us to feel helpless, frustrated or confused about why we can't just seem to choose a different way of interacting and responding to ourselves and others. They may even begin to negatively impact our close relationships. Whether you are seeking help as an individual or with your partner, I can help you change those patterns, and find the pathway back to harmony, both within yourself and in your relationship.

I welcome clients reflecting the diversity of Ontario, including those with membership in cultural, religious and ethnic minority groups and those in both conventional or exploring non-traditional relationship styles.
Do you sometimes experience struggle in your life because of conflict between what you find erotic and your personal values? Do you have problems in relationships because of your sexual behaviours or interests? Do you feel that your sexual behaviours might be out of control? Or, do you struggle with a decrease in your desire for intimacy in your relationships, have problems with sexual arousal or struggle with performance anxiety? If you find yourself saying 'yes' to any of these questions, treatment with a qualified sex and relationship therapist like myself might be right for you.

Hi, I’m Ashlyn, owner of Mindful Pleasures Therapy. I hold a master’s from the University of Toronto and focus on individuals and couples. My approach blends anti-oppressive, holistic, somatic, and evidence-based techniques. I’m passionate about creating a strong therapeutic relationship with you, where you feel comfortable and cozy in a warm, judgment-free space for you to explore your thoughts, and feelings. In our sessions, you’ll be an active participant—challenged, not just listened to—as we work together to reach your goals.

My first priority is always to help my clients feel comfortable opening up and talking about what needs to be talked about. I view all of the "work" that occurs in therapy as secondary or subsequent to the building of that relationship. I tell my clients that they may not always feel completely comfortable in sessions because it is sometimes necessary to push ourselves outside of our comfort zones and talk about things that are painful or difficult to talk about. However, you can always trust me to be warm, empathetic, and compassionate.

I understand the courage it takes to begin and commit to therapy, and that is why my first goal is to provide you with a safe and validating environment to share your experiences. Often we reach out for help with the goal of eliminating discomfort, however, I have found that the most significant gains in therapy come from facilitating a more compassionate relationship with ourselves. Being curious about our thoughts and emotions, and how they influence us, can be the first step in feeling empowered and meeting needs which may have been neglected.
