About Ashlee Allen, Therapist in Napanee, Ontario
Hello and welcome!
I’m Ashlee, a Registered Social Worker (RSW). I bring to social work practice a curiosity of how people live, survive and thrive within the world around them. I am honored and humbled to hear people’s stories of resilience, survival and struggle and seek to engage in collaborative therapeutic conversations that move people from a place of suffering/struggle to a more expansive notion of who they are, their skills, values and powerful ways of being in the world.
I enjoy explorations of many kinds whether that be through travelling and exploring my local surroundings, reading or learning new things. I am working on having more connection with nature, the land around me and enjoy doing so with my spouse and children.
*I live and work on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Anishinaabe and Huron-Wendat peoples in Napanee, Ontario. I seek to learn, understand and repair some of the injustices and harms through which my ancestors came to these lands through committing to lifelong (un)learning, grounding my practices in anti-oppressive frameworks, reflexivity, and financial retribution. I am open to feedback and discussion.
