ASHLEY EDLIN

MA Registered Psychotherapist

Ashley Edlin is an art therapist and registered psychotherapist, specializing in working with children, adolescents and their caregivers. Unlike traditional talk therapy, Ashley is passionate about integrating drawing, painting, sculpture and sewing along with cognitive behavioural and mindfulness techniques to aid clients in expressing themselves and understanding their emotional experiences.

Creativity is a uniquely human trait. The process of creating promotes a sense of calm while increasing feelings of mastery and self-esteem. Ashley notes that through the integration of art and psychotherapy techniques, clients are able to generate both verbal and non-verbal communications which help to produce new understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
