Hi! I’m Ashley Pinto, an integrative somatic psychotherapist specialized in working with trauma, anxiety/panic, women with ADHD, attachment and family of origin issues. I am a nervous system specialist, trained in Somatic Experiencing and Parts Work. I help adult women understand themselves better and shift the patterns that hinder them from living their desired lives. I enjoy delving into how our brains and nervous systems work, guiding people to recognize the ingenious ways they have been caring for themselves, along with the often-overlooked inner wisdom that deserves attention rather than criticism. If that excites you, fantastic! And if it feels intimidating, don’t worry; I excel at simplifying these concepts and making them engaging!
My weekly insurance-based therapy caseload is currently full, however, I do have openings for my customized Therapy Intensives that are specially designed to offer you a more efficient and streamlined experience. Please visit my website for more details on how we can work together.
Client Focus
Session Format: Individual sessions.
Age Specialty: Adult, Young Adult
Demographic Expertise: Women clients.
Treatment Approach
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
Approach Description: My therapeutic approach utilizes a mind-body wellness lens that is grounded in somatic therapies (Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal, Parts Work/IFS, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy) and weaves in other evidence-based psychotherapy techniques (e.g., Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy). I teach my clients to understand their nervous systems, survival responses, patterns, and parts - learning to embrace what serves them and shift what no longer does. I encourage my clients to adopt healthier lifestyle habits that have been shown to produce better mental, emotional, and physical well-being. I also specialize in creating customized therapeutic experiences that are driven by research and my extensive training in what actually works for my client's nervous systems - you do not have to be limited to options set by insurance policy makers.

Do you find yourself continuing to feel triggered in life and relationships, no matter what you do? Does it feel like weekly 50 minute therapy simply hasn’t been enough to help you live the life you want? You’ve read the self-help books and maybe even been to therapy before, but nothing has gotten to the bottom of your concerns and actually led to the growth and change you’re looking for in your life and relationships. Maybe you’re needing help — and a lot of it — right now, and you don’t want to spend months or even years in the traditional weekly model of therapy treatment to feel better.
I provide customized services called Therapy Intensives that are highly personalized treatment experiences that allow you to skip the waitlist by giving you faster access to select spots, and are designed to support your nervous system while decreasing the timeline for achieving your treatment goals. I use Somatic Experiencing, Parts Work/IFS, and Polyvagal Theory to help you achieve real change in days so you can feel better, faster.
You deserve therapy that's tailored to you. Finally experience relief from trauma, crushing anxiety, frustrations from ADHD challenges, and relationship concerns without facing years of therapy. If you’re ready for real change, you’re in the right place. See my website for more information about Therapy Intensives and to schedule a free consultation.
