Ashley Gossen
Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Virtual Therapy for Students, Professionals, Women, Moms, & Couples

​​My virtual counselling clients -- moms, professionals, women, students & couples -- who have sought therapy with me for burnout, stress, communication, relationship challenges, and general mental health support often tell me:​

​

• “I don’t know how I can I get through the everyday…”

• “I can’t do this.”

• “I never expected to feel this way.”

• “I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”

​

So, if any of these resonate with you, I am glad you are here. I know from personal and professional experience that when anxiety, stress, depression, burnout, sleep issues, chronic illness & pain, and relationship issues are interfering, how to get through the everyday can feel so frustrating, exhausting, depleting, and chaotic.

 

Most of my clients are moms who tell me they don’t really know how they got to this state, or how to get out of or through it, but they feel intensely guilty or ashamed about it. I let them know that if they can trust the therapeutic process they will likely find they can live a different life, and that many people just like them have told me they really do find counselling helps.​​​​

​

As an RCC, I specialize in treating mental health for parents (especially moms), health care professionals, students (aged 14+), young adults, and people aged 50+. I know from personal and professional experience that meeting people where they are at, honouring the sense it’s your life, not mine, and being there to follow your lead but also to collaborate with you on building self care, skills, routine, and supports is the best way to help people take back control and capacity in their lives. I love being a part of people’s lightbulb moments, shifts, and “I never thought of it that way!” realizations, and helping and supporting people through some of their toughest times and crisis.

​

Working with me means you have someone to guide and listen to you, help you process what’s happening, support you in making empowered choices, build your toolbox, and work through your problems to help you build a balanced and caring life. You have someone with you in a safe, non-judgmental, approachable, validating way who will say what you NEED to hear (which may not always be what you want to hear, but it will be clear and direct and caring!).
