about

Ashley Larkin's superpower lies at the intersection of creative expression and healing. A psychotherapist focused on helping people remember their own agency to find healing and restore trust in their inner voice.

Her advocacy is steeped in subverting the colonized norms of the mental health industry. Championing education and access to mindfulness and well-being practices that remind us all of our innate power to shape our lives. Her approach is as diverse as it is inclusive, using art and music as tools to invite wellness into culture and the everyday places that are just as vital as the therapy room.

Today, Ashley serves as the Head of Wellness at True Voice, a wellness app helping to cultivate well-being through mindfulness and meditation practices. Her passion for this role is fueled by a commitment to serve overlooked communities, particularly Black and Brown folks, in the wellness space. More than just an app, she is cultivating a sanctuary of self discovery, healing and empowerment for all to feel at home in.

As a licensed psychotherapist, Ashley’s integrative approach blends family systems, mindfulness and anti-oppressive liberation practices. Her experience spans a wide spectrum, working with youth and families across diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, addressing issues like substance use disorders, relational conflict and coping skills.

She studied the impact systems and environments have in shaping families and well-being at the Ackerman Institute for the Family and holds a Masters in Clinical Social Work from New York University. She spearheaded a mindful and holistic treatment approach as the Managing Director of an outpatient and residential recovery center in New York City.

A visionary, Ashley’s work is imagining a new way forward, where well-being is accessible to all people and not just for the few.
