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 unfolds when the connection between mind, body, and spirit is gently supported and understood. Rooted in a relational and a trauma-informed approach, I offer a compassionate space where your experiences are met with empathy, you feel truly seen, and where trust is built at your pace. There is something deeply sacred in allowing yourself to be witnessed, just as you are, and this becomes part of the healing process itself. Whether you’re feeling stuck, moving through depression or anxiety, or finding trust and intimacy challenging, you are not alone. In our work together, we focus on developing inner harmony.
I offer therapy that supports the nervous system in healing from overwhelm and past experiences that may still feel present in your daily life. Using approaches like EMDR, parts work (IFS), and equine therapy, we gently work to understand and soften fear-based responses, and create space for new ways of experiencing yourself and your relationships.
This work helps you build greater self-awareness, connect to your inner world with compassion, and develop a deeper sense of safety within yourself. I can support you to release long-held defenses, strengthen trust, and become open to more ease, connection, and choice in your life. It is an honor to help people reconnect to and access their inner wisdom.
