Meet Our Team

Ashley Quinlan

MACP, RP

Deciding to reach out for support is a brave first step, and I am here to meet you with a safe, welcoming space to land. I believe therapy is a partnership—together, we’ll build on your existing strengths and resilience to create a path forward that feels authentic to you.

​

I have extensive experience supporting individuals navigating the complexities of anxiety, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and family or peer challenges. Whether I’m working with a child finding their voice, a couple seeking reconnection, or an adult navigating a major life transition, I am deeply invested in your unique story.

​

My approach combines genuine connection with evidence-based tools to help you move toward the future you envision. I look forward to meeting you and starting this journey together.

Akua Parham

MSW, RSW

Life can often feel overwhelming, and reaching out for support is a courageous step towards positive change. Whether you are managing daily stress, navigating significant life transitions, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I am dedicated to helping you achieve meaningful and lasting growth. 

 

With over 20 years of experience as a Registered Social Worker, I have worked extensively with children, youth, individuals, and families. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, grounded in respect for each person’s unique story. I practice from a client-centered and anti-oppressive framework, fostering a safe and nonjudgmental environment where healing and transformation happen at a pace that feels comfortable for you. 

 

I have specialized expertise in supporting individuals and families through fertility challenges and the adoption process. I work closely with birth parents, adoptive parents, and adoptees to navigate the emotional and relational complexities that often accompany these journeys. 

 

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing and empowerment.
