Somatic therapy for trauma, anxiety, and ADHD in women

Hi! I'm Ashley Pinto, the Founder and CEO of ICG, and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the State of IL. I currently see clients during the weekdays only, in my Naperville office and via telehealth to Illinois residents.

TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE

I have over two decades of experience providing mental health services in a variety of settings including hospitals, residential treatment centers, and outpatient therapy practices. I earned a Master's Degree in Forensic Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2008 and have achieved advanced education to become a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I have been a professional member of the Illinois Counseling Association for many years and I have earned certificates of advanced training in Applied Polyvagal Theory in Therapeutic Yoga, and Psychotherapy for Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders. I am currently a student of Somatic Experiencing (1st of 3 year program completed). I have also completed advanced training in IFS/Parts Work, Polyvagal Theory, and Sensorimotor approaches to further expand my skills in body-orientated therapies and specialized trauma treatment.

My ideal clients are adult women, 18-50 years old. I am experienced in working with anxiety and depressive disorders, acute and developmental/complex trauma, PTSD, ADHD (especially those late-diagnosed), bipolar disorder, women's issues and maternal mental health. I am LGBTQ+ affirmative and use the pronouns she/her.
