Dr Ayesha

Dr. Ayesha Peckham, PhD, Registered Psychologist, brings more than 15 years of experience across clinical, academic, government, and private settings. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2000, became a registered psychologist in 2005, and completed a PhD in Neuroimmunology in 2007. She has worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families. After a period away to raise her children, she returned to private practice with a focus on adults affected by trauma and other challenging life experiences, including complex trauma, PTSD, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and intrusive memories. The therapeutic stance is trauma-informed, blending a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental style with a strong evidence base. Dr. Ayesha draws on EMDR, Schema Therapy, Imagery Rescripting, CBT, and ACT, with modalities selected to meet each person’s unique needs. In addition to therapy, she conducts diagnostic assessments, including neurodiversity-affirming autism assessments across the lifespan (children, adolescents, and adults). Outside of work, she absolutely loves being in the ocean and spending time with her children and friends.
