Who can book with you?
Adults (18+) seeking counselling or therapy. I work with clients across Alberta via secure online sessions, and in-person for those in Calgary.
Will my insurance cover therapy sessions?
To determine if therapy sessions are covered by your insurance and by an MSW designation please check with your individual insurance provider prior to booking a session.
I am registered as a provider with Telus health e-claims and can direct bill to a number of insurance companies. If I am unable to bill your insurance provider directly, you will receive an invoice that you can submit for reimbursement.
What happens if I need to cancel or miss an appointment?
If you fail to cancel your appointment within the 24-hour window or miss it entirely, there will be a $50.00 charge. If you are late to an appointment, the appointment time will not be extended past the originally scheduled time.
How many sessions will I need?
Each person’s journey is unique. Some might begin to feel relief in a few sessions; others benefit from longer-term work. We’ll regularly check in, assess progress, and decide together what feels best.
What are your hours?
Ashna is available most evenings and weekends.
What kind of issues do you treat?
Trauma (single or complex), PTSD, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, identity or self-esteem issues, grief, life transitions, relationship stress, and more. I also support clients through self-discovery, wellness, and personal growth journeys.
What is EMDR - and is it right for me?
EMDR is a therapeutic method designed to help process painful or traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact. It’s often especially helpful for trauma, past abuse, chronic anxiety, and intrusive memories. We’ll discuss in our first consult whether EMDR might be a good fit, and proceed at a pace that feels safe.
Do you provide online (telehealth) sessions?
Yes — I provide secure, private telehealth sessions across Alberta. In-person sessions are available for clients in Calgary.
As a social worker practicing in Calgary, I acknowledge that I am situated on the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta. This includes the Blackfoot Confederacy, consisting of the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations; the Îethka Nakoda Wîcastabi First Nations, comprising the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations; and the Tsuut’ina First Nation. Additionally, Calgary is homeland to the historic Northwest Métis and to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3. I recognize the rich cultural heritage and ongoing presence of Indigenous peoples in this area and commit to incorporating Indigenous perspectives into our social work practice.
