Miss Ashley Carr

Registered Social Worker

“I am a registered social worker and psychotherapist with over 12 years of experience. I specialize in supporting clients who are seeking to better understand themselves, improve mood and satisfaction, recover from burnout and perfectionism, and overall live a more authentic life.”

About Me

With over 12 years of experience, I support clients seeking to understand themselves more deeply. We explore how to improve mood and find greater satisfaction in life. If burnout or perfectionism is holding you back, sessions focus on deep self-exploration to uncover new perspectives. I aim to help you build resilience and embrace a more authentic way of living. This approach helps those seeking lasting personal growth and genuine self-discovery.

Approach

Sessions move from thoughtful reflection into practical, manageable shifts—small experiments that help you notice what truly matters. I see clients in Toronto and online, in English, and keep the pace flexible so therapy fits around work and life. Through values-guided choices, brief attention practices, and clear learning about stress and habit patterns, we test what restores energy, eases perfectionist drives, and lifts daily mood. People navigating transitions, burnout, or a wish for more honest living often find this way of working helpful.
