Ashley Costigan MSW, RSW, RCC (She/Her)

​​​

I’m a Registered Social Worker and Registered Clinical Counsellor with over 15 years of experience supporting youth and adults through mental health and substance use challenges. Before starting my private practice, I worked in inpatient and outpatient treatment centres, community mental health as a Concurrent Disorders Clinician, and in a range of integrated care settings. These experiences shaped my belief that meaningful change happens through collaboration, respect, and patience — and that therapy is most effective when it feels genuine and grounded.
 

I’m drawn to this work because I’m deeply interested in how people adapt and recover from difficult experiences. Over the years, I’ve become especially focused on how the nervous system holds stress and trauma, and how restoring regulation can help people feel more present, stable, and connected in their lives.
 

My approach is direct and compassionate, grounded in the belief that therapy is built on an authentic and genuine relationship, and that humour can be a powerful part of the healing process. The work can be challenging, but moments of lightness often bring perspective, connection, and relief. I aim to create a space that feels both supportive and real — where growth happens through honest conversation and collaboration.
