Working with Asher

Approach to clinical psychotherapy

Asher specializes in therapeutic work focused on eating disorder recovery, complex trauma, dialectics and duality, and macro-level and systemic oppression.

They find deep fulfillment in therapeutic work that brings your past into the room as a way to explore current behaviors, and also provides concrete coping skills to help manage day-to-day life.

They offer deep, unending compassion to all of her clients and believes that all people are valuable simply because they exist.

Asher is currently accruing clinical hours at the following two group practices:

  • Metro Behavioral Health Associates
