Ashley Ferraccioli, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves, from others, or from the life they hoped to be living. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who works with individuals navigating grief, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, burnout, and the quiet overwhelm that can come from life. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what you’re carrying, without judgment or pressure. As a certified clinical trauma specialist, my approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in empathy. I draw from cognitive behavioural therapy (cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)), dialectical behaviour therapy (dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)), narrative therapy, person-centred therapy, mindfulness, and internal family systems (IFS), tailoring our work to your unique needs rather than fitting you into a rigid framework. Grief is a central part of my work. While it’s often associated with death, grief can also emerge through many other losses: the end of a relationship, changes in health, shifts in identity, unmet expectations, or the life you thought you’d be living by now. These experiences can feel isolating and hard to name. In our work together, I aim to create space for your grief to be acknowledged, honored, and understood. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out. Wherever you are in your journey, I will meet you with warmth, respect, and a deep belief in your capacity for growth and healing.

The name Flexible Minds originates from the idea that when we are too rigid in our thinking, it limits our ability to handle situations with ease. When our mind is flexible, we can move with, rather than against, whatever life throws our way. Flexibility allows us to better adapt and embrace life more fully. We are then able to be present and live more authentically to who we are and who we want to be. The more we can bend, the less we will break. We offer virtual psychotherapy, walk & talk therapy, somatic therapy and yoga and mental health workshops.

I have a special focus in working with grief and trauma.
