Hello, I'm grateful you're taking the time to read my profile. 

My name is Ashley and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and MACP candidate working as a virtual associate therapist at Mindfully Me.  I can see clients from Ontario, Alberta,  Nova Scotia, BC and Montreal. I operate from a client-centred, anti-oppressive lens and I have many years of experience prior to being a therapist as a school educator, trauma-informed yoga instructor and fitness coach. I am currently offering virtual services to residents in Ontario. 

Throughout our lives we are shaped by the people around us, and what we go through. In some ways, this may be affecting us unconsciously, and we have the opportunity through therapy to connect our own dots and take with us what we need to, to heal. I feel honored to hold the privilege of sitting with you through your deepest experiences and emotions to process them, as well as find clarity and safety within.

I am a holistic integrative therapist, meaning I draw on many approaches to support your personal needs and cater your therapy sessions to you. I enjoy supporting clients seeking care for any personal issues, but I have a passion for working with complex trauma, relationships,  depression, anxiety and life changes. 

Through my combination of therapeutic modalities, I particularly like to draw upon attachment theory, somatics, parts work and mindfulness.  In my therapy practice, I like to weave in many aspects of the nervous system, and the body to support you in connecting to yourself, and learning to trust your innate wisdom within.

I want to acknowledge you for taking the steps to look into support for your wellness. You are worthy of the peace within yourself, and the world around you that you desire to experience. I would be honored to connect with you on your journey.

Bianca and Ashley connected through a Facebook group and immediately Bianca was drawn to Ashley's preferred modalities and her outlook on challenging the pathogenic, western medical model approach to mental health. Ashley is incredibly passionate about incorporating the body into her work and has a fascination with parts work. Ashley shared with Bianca her lived experience through navigating her own mental health journey and being on the other side of the therapy chair. This is what fuels Ashley's commitment, passion and desire to make a positive change in the mental health world. Bianca and Ashley sat down and chatted about what this could look like in practice and it was a no brainer to invite Ashley to the Mindfully Me Team. Ashley, your passion, kindness and drive will make a significant difference for the amazing people you sit across from. Welcome, Ashley! 

Side note- What is a RP(Q)? This means Ashley has completed her Masters studies in Counselling Psychology and is currently under going her practicum to be able to practice independently.

Through Ashley's registration board, she is able to practice with clients under supervision which means she is constantly reflecting on her practice and getting expert guidance from incredibly experienced supervisors in the field.  Ashley will be covered under "Registered Psychotherapist" on your extended benefits plan !
