Ashley Nutter,
Social Service Worker/Therapist Intern
She/Her​
​
Many of you may recognize my name from your initial email with us. I have joined our team as our Client Care Coordinator and a Humber College Social Service Work Intern. I am working towards completing graduate school as an MSW and practicing at the Centre as an RSW & Psychotherapist in the near future. I work closely with our Founder, Michelle Guy to support the development of programs and the overall management of the Centre.​
Hi, I’m Ashley,
As the Client Care Coordinator at Acorn & Anchor, I support clients through the referral and intake process and provide support throughout their involvement. I also take part in co-planning and facilitating groups and programs, and supporting the team as needed.
As someone with a neurodivergent brain, I have a deep understanding of the unique qualities, characteristics, and challenges associated with being twice-exceptional (2e) and gifted. I have great experience working with my highly sensitive, people-pleasing, and perfectionist parts. Because of this, I am passionate about the work that is being done at the Centre, and I truly value the foundational concept that the "right fit" for a therapeutic relationship is a key factor in the success of therapy.
My learning goals as an intern therapist align with the relational focus, values, modalities, and practice methods at Acorn & Anchor, and I am excited to be mentored in the "Acorn & Anchor Approach". I aim to create a meaningful connection with clients at the Centre from the very beginning, ensuring that I provide the best support for their therapeutic process in every way I can.
​
​​In addition to my formal education and personal experience, I am also an active self-directed learner, and I am currently working towards enhanced IFS training to support the Centre in the work with complex minds, complex trauma (C-PTSD) and any other lifelong trauma associated with neurodivergence.
I understand the importance of feeling truly heard, seen, understood, and validated, and I aspire to support clients in the best way possible. I look forward to meeting you.
