My background:

I’m a California native with roots in the Bay Area and a love for Southern California’s natural beauty, where I spend time with my family exploring, enjoying all the great food, and adventuring with our sweet German Shepherd.

As a mom, I’m learning daily about the joys and quirks of parenthood, finding balance, and embracing the ups and downs along the way.
 

My journey has taken me from studying Psychology to earning a Master’s in Counseling Psychology, which fueled my passion for supporting others.

I’ve worked in a range of diverse mental health settings—including hospitals, schools, group and private practices, and with nonprofits—gaining experiences that continually shape my approach.

As a first-time mom, I deeply understand the unique challenges and joys that come with the perinatal journey.

Ashlyn Acikalyn

I specialize in supporting the perinatal community, providing a safe and nurturing space for individuals navigating the complexities of pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood.

 

I recognize how traumatic birth stories can shape our experiences, and I’m here to help you process and heal during this pivotal time.

 

My approach is warm, relational, and tailored to your individual needs, addressing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, identity shifts, transitions, grief, and relationship dynamics.

 

Beyond my focus on expectant and new parents, I also offer individual therapy for teens and adults facing mood disorders, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

 

I believe in fostering compassion and understanding as we work together to explore your experiences and navigate the layers of life.
