Ashtyn Hickey (She/They)

I work with people who are used to pushing themselves at work, in school, in relationships, in sport, or simply in everyday life, but may be feeling anxious, disconnected, or unsure of who they are beneath the expectations they carry. You might be navigating anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt, life transitions, or questions about identity and self-worth. Maybe your mind won’t slow down, you’re hard on yourself when things don’t go as planned, or you find yourself caught between different parts of what you want, need, and feel. Whatever brings you to therapy, you don’t have to figure it out alone or know the “right” words to say.

I offer a warm, supportive, and affirming space where we can slow down and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. Together, we’ll work on practical tools to manage anxiety, build resilience, strengthen self-trust, and navigate difficult emotions—while also making space to explore the deeper patterns and experiences that shape how you relate to yourself andothers.

My approach is informed by parts work and narrative therapy, which can help us understand the different parts of you that show up in different moments, like the part that strives for perfection, the part that worries, the part that avoids, or the part that feels like it always has to hold everything together. Rather than judging or trying to get rid of these parts, we can approach them with curiosity and compassion, creating more space for self-understanding, choice, and connection. I value authenticity, safety, and connection, and I always leave room for humour and humanity. My goal is to help you feel more grounded and connected to yourself because you deserve to feel at home in who you already are.
