About My Clients
The heart of my work centers around adults of the South Asian Diaspora (individuals from Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Myanmar, and Bangladesh). My work includes the voices of those who have navigated a multicultural experience, in addition to their South Asian identity. Additionally, my familiarity is common amongst the Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Catholic, and Agnostic exposure. All of your identities are welcome and celebrated here.
My Background and Approach
Through my own self-reflection and SOUL searching, it has brought me to the conclusion that my MISSION in life is to articulate my own trials and tribulations, in a way that EMANCIPATES me and EMPOWERS other people, specifically those with a similar cultural background. I want to help others make meaning of their experiences & to own their own stories, despite how terrifying it can be, despite the pressure to keep our low moments entrenched in secrecy. There’s such beauty in loving ourselves through the uncertainties & challenges, that is truly where “the work” lies, & that is how we tap into true bravery and vulnerability. Once we’re able to share our stories with those who have earned the right to hear our meaning, we conquer our own shadowy parts and rebirth our more authentic selves. From that, came the birth of ASHLEY SINGH THERAPY, my medium for connecting with those that align with my mission, values, and goals.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
The person and therapist that I am today was carved out from my experience as a brown woman that faced external pressure, doubt, fear, judgement, and my inner critical voice cracking my foundation, in which I was finally able to weave through a newfound internal resilience, balance, confidence, and wisdom. It is my journey as a therapy client that was able to spearhead this work. Though my time as a client was truly life changing, I believe that having the guidance of someone who looked like me, faced similar assimilation issues, someone that struggled with owning their identity, someone who understood what it was like to be the eldest daughter in an immigrant family, someone who knew how to navigate boundaries in a South Asian family, someone who navigated a multicultural experience, etc., could have helped me be the best version of myself, long ago.
