Sarah Ashkanase MA, RSW, EMDR Therapist
Welcome! I’m Sarah Ashkanase, a Registered Social Worker (RSW) in Ontario offering trauma-informed counselling and EMDR therapy in London, Ontario and virtually across the province. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and have been supporting individuals in the mental health field since 2005.
I work with adults facing a wide range of concerns, including trauma, workplace or school stress, anxiety, burnout, grief, and relationship challenges. My approach is warm, client-centered, and non-judgmental. I integrate several evidence-based modalities into therapy, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to help people move through what’s keeping them stuck.
I believe that most people are doing the best they can with what they have—and when life becomes overwhelming, old patterns can take over and limit our sense of connection, joy, or purpose. Therapy can offer a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your inner resilience.
My goal is to support self-awareness, healing, and growth by helping you explore new perspectives and reclaim a sense of clarity and calm. I honour and welcome individuals of all identities, backgrounds, cultures, faiths, and orientations in my practice.
If you’re curious whether we might be a good fit or whether EMDR therapy may be a fit for you, I invite you to reach out. I look forward to connecting with you.
