Mrs Ashley Amundson

Registered Psychotherapist

“Ashley Amundson is an integrated holistic therapist who specializes in trauma, women's issues, weight challenges, and addiction.”

About Me

I offer an integrated, holistic psychotherapy approach. I support individuals navigating trauma, women's issues, weight challenges, and addiction. We will explore the connections between these areas, fostering a deeper understanding of your experiences. My aim is to help you develop practical strategies for healing and lasting change. This approach suits those ready to address their challenges from a whole-person perspective.

Approach

I focus on mapping how trauma, women's health, body relationship and substance-use patterns show up in your daily rhythms and choices. In sessions we move between focused skill-building (breath, grounding, CBT reframes) and gentle exploration of memory, meaning and habits, pacing work to your tolerance and goals. Between appointments I often suggest short, practical experiments to test new ways of responding and tracking shifts. This way of working tends to suit adults ready to connect insight with steady, everyday change.
