Cornerstone

Ashley Ryan, LAC, is a primary therapist at Cornerstone Healing Center in Scottsdale, where she brings a unique blend of passion, personal experience, and professional expertise to her work. Originally dreaming of becoming a registered dietitian to help people heal from eating disorders, Ashley’s path evolved into counseling—a calling that allows her to help individuals with a wide range of challenges, including eating disorders, substance use, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Her background in competitive bodybuilding also inspired her interest in working with athletes and individuals striving to build healthier relationships with their bodies.

Ashley is deeply committed to creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel understood and empowered. She specializes in helping people strengthen their relationship with themselves and develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. With plans to become EMDR-trained, Ashley’s goal is to help clients process past traumas that may be impacting their present lives, guiding them toward healing, resilience, and self-discovery.

Outside of her work, Ashley is a full-time mom to her daughter, who is the light of her life. Most of her free time is spent making memories with her little girl, encouraging her to grow and thrive. Two-plus years sober herself, Ashley’s journey gives her a unique perspective and compassion for those she works with. Her love language? Dark chocolate and coffee.
