Jackie Ashley

Jackie Ashley believes that every individual possesses the inherent ability to lead fulfilling, engaged, and meaningful lives. However, many may find themselves caught in unhealthy and isolating patterns that manifest as anxiety, depression, and strained relationships. Jackie supports her clients in uncovering the root causes of their challenges, empowering them to transform limiting behaviors and embrace healthy, joyful living. Her therapeutic style is direct, supportive, and creative, effectively incorporating the healing powers of humor, nature, and horses into her practice. With over 20 years of mental health experience, Jackie has worked with a diverse spectrum of individuals. Her extensive training encompasses Somatic Psychotherapy, Creative Arts Therapy, Dance/Movement Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing, a body-oriented approach to trauma resolution, as well as Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy. Mindfulness forms a cornerstone of her practice, seamlessly woven through each modality she employs. For 15 years, integrating horses into her therapy has proven transformative, allowing clients to connect their bodies, minds, and hearts in a unique way. Alongside her private practice, Jackie is dedicated to teaching, training, and supervising master's level students in Counseling/Psychology and facilitating groups for women who are survivors of sexual trauma.
