It's me, hi!
Hi, I’m Ashley! I help neurodivergent women get out of survival mode and back to themselves. If you’ve spent years masking, people-pleasing, or navigating religious trauma, you’re not alone. Together, we’ll build a life that feels more authentic, grounded, and sustainable for you.
Nothing lights me up like helping neurodivergent women unpack religious trauma and come home to themselves. This work can be heavy, and I'll never pretend otherwise. But on the other side of this work is a version of you that feels more authentic, grounded, and confident. If you’ve spent years masking, people-pleasing, or trying to “get it right” in a high-demand religion, you’re not alone. And if you don’t believe religious trauma is real, I’m probably not the therapist for you (and that’s okay!). As an AuDHD woman and former member of the LDS/Mormon church, I bring both lived and professional experience to the work we’ll do together.
EMDR Therapy
There are so many different therapy models and modalities out there. EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is the primary modality I use with my clients, and I have seen it change SO many lives. EMDR is a very popular therapy modality and it is currently the most effective mental health therapy model that we have for PTSD, OCD, depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions.
"I’ve been a client of Ashley VanYperen’s for several years now, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. As a therapist, she has been instrumental in my healing journey. Perhaps most notably, Ashley has helped me reach and maintain sobriety. It will be 5 years this October (2024). Ashley utilized EMDR for addiction treatment, and since then, I haven’t had the desire or temptation to drink. Therapy with Ashley has made a profound difference in my life. My addiction no longer haunts me the way it seems to haunt others in recovery, and I believe that this is due to my work with Ashley. Her expertise, compassion, and dedication have truly transformed my life. If you are seeking a therapist who can make a real difference, Ashley is the one to see. 10/10 highly recommend! "
While I do have a lot of knowledge and tools to share with you as your therapist, I care deeply about therapy being a collaborative experience. I am not the kind of therapist who will hold your feet to the fire and force you to do things my way.
I actively encourage my clients to give me feedback on our work together, so that I can tailor my treatment approach to their individual wants and needs.
schedule a consultation call
Do you want to work with me? I would love to chat with you more to see if we are a good fit for one another. One of the most important things for growth and change in the therapeutic process is the relationship between the therapist and the client. Because of this, I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation with any potential clients who are interested in talking more about what therapy could look like with me.
