Getting to know Ashley Prikryl
The provider is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist & Associate Professional Clinical Counselor and is currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Their current employer is Mindful Pasadena Counseling.
With a deep belief that true healing emerges when the connection between mind, body, and spirit is honored, this work is rooted in a humanistic, trauma-informed, and experiential approach. Before becoming a therapist, Ashley spent over a decade working in the film and television industry as a set decoration buyer and as a photographer. These creative roles required intuitive listening, expressiveness, an eye for the unseen, and authenticity. These early experiences influence her therapeutic presence that is attuned, imaginative, and deeply respectful of each client’s unique narrative.
Ashley has also witnessed profound healing and transformation through emotional sobriety and the recovery process—both personally and professionally—which has shaped her deep compassion for individuals navigating substance and alcohol use, as well as destructive and compulsive choices. She holds space with care for those in recovery, and for those seeking a path toward reconnection with themselves.
With a special passion for intersectional women’s issues, Ashley supports clients who feel stuck in cycles of codependency, low self-worth, compulsive relationship patterns, or disconnection from their sexuality and voice. She works with those who feel unseen or unheard, and who are longing to build self-advocacy, authentic expression, and healthier relationships.
Trained in experiential modalities including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), equine-assisted therapy, and Sex therapy, Ashley integrates mindfulness, intuitive art techniques, and attachment-based practices.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Healing begins when your mind, body, and spirit feel safe and supported. I can help you gently release the burdens of trauma and beliefs that keep you feeling stuck. Together we can create space to uncover, explore, and let go of what no longer serves you. I believe we all carry the wisdom we need to heal and sometimes we just need the right support to access it. Using a bottom-up approach, I guide you to reconnect with your inner wisdom, strengthen self-awareness, and build confidence in your ability to manage emotions and navigate life’s challenges.
I use experiential therapies like EMDR, parts-based methods and equine-assisted therapy along with mindfulness and attachment approaches. These methods help you work through trauma, let go of what weighs you down, and create space for new perspectives and healthier patterns; supporting you to feel empowered to sit with your emotions and honor yourself.
This is a compassionate space where healing isn’t about “fixing", it's about nurturing all parts of yourself. I can provide guidance to help you work through unresolved experiences and past wounds to release things that hold you back, trust your inner wisdom, and step into your most authentic self. Therapy is a journey, and you don’t have to do it alone.
