Ashley Prikryl Therapy

“You have the power to heal your life, and you need to know that. We think so often that we are helpless, but we're not. We always have the power of our minds…Claim and consciously use your power.”
― Louise L. Hay

My Approach

Healing unfolds when the connection between mind, body, and spirit is gently supported and understood. Rooted in a relational, trauma-informed approach, I offer a compassionate space where you feel seen, heard, and accepted at your own pace. I welcome people of all identities and backgrounds and am an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community. Together, we'll explore how personal experiences, generational trauma, culture, and societal influences shape your relationships, beliefs, and sense of self, creating space for greater healing, connection, and inner harmony.

I offer therapy that supports the nervous system in healing from overwhelm and past experiences that may feel present in your daily life. Using approaches like EMDR, parts work, and equine assisted therapy with an attachment-focus and Structural Dissociation, we gently explore survival responses, fostering greater integration and creating new ways of experiencing yourself.

This work helps you cultivate greater self-awareness, connect with your inner world, and develop a deeper sense of safety within yourself. I can support you in releasing long-held protective patterns, strengthening self-trust, and living with greater ease and choice. If you're ready to reconnect with your inner wisdom, I would be honored to walk with you!

    Inner wisdom is the foundation for trust in all relationships; most importantly, with yourself. Together, we’ll nurture your ability to sense what you need, set clear boundaries, and feel more aligned with your true self.
