Ashley Ong, MA, LPC-IT, ATR-P

Owner of pearl orchid studio/ Licensed Professional Counselor In Training, Provisional Art Therapist

Ashley Ong is a Vietnamese-Filipina art therapist and mental health therapist, who has over three years of experience of working within the Greater Milwaukee area — serving communities in the Milwaukee, Washington, Waukesha, and Racine counties. She has provided trauma-informed and crisis care for BIPOC youth and families, children in foster care systems, neurodivergent children and adolescents, and survivors of sexual violence and trafficking. In her work, she strives to be the gentle companion that encourages her clients to integrate their strengths and resiliency into their journey of self-expression and growth.

Ashley's counseling style is warm, collaborative, culturally sensitive, and empowering (with a tang of Gen Z humor). With an eclectic therapeutic approach, she makes sure that therapy feels just right for you; modalities that she may use in sessions include: Trauma-Informed Care, Attachment-Based Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Narrative Art Therapy. Ashley utilizes art therapy as a means of helping her clients process their emotions, stories, and traumas that their bodies often hold and feel, yet cannot express.

At this time, Ashley is working with youth ages 8 & up; young adults (18-35); and all perinatal women (including pre-natal, expecting, and post-partum mothers). She specializes in attachment wounds, generational trauma, perinatal mental health, and women’s issues.
