My Philosophy of Care
As a mental health professional, my role is to support clients in their goals and help them to process the things that impact their overall wellbeing. Sometimes this looks like addressing systemic issues such as fatphobia, racism, transphobia, and misogyny. I practice from a Health at Every Size perspective because I believe all bodies are good bodies and everyone should have access to good care. I apply the HAES framework of care to my work by providing access to therapy for people of all sizes and abilities. I provide both in-person and virtual options, including phone therapy. I provide informed consent for any therapy I provide and I offer person-centered care that is trauma-informed and client led.
About Me & My Practice
I am a highly motivated individual who is very organized and loves her to-do lists! I love to laugh and use humor as a way to connect with my clients. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist.
My approach first and foremost is person-centered. Every person is unique and my goal is to get to know you and learn what is important to you in order to help you to work to lead a more fulfilled life. I am a nonjudgmental, body-positive, sex-positive, LGBTQIA-affirming therapist who believes that every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. My desire is that my office is a safe space for you to be yourself where we can explore issues, past and present, and work toward personal growth. Secondly, my approach is strengths-based, focusing on what is working in your life and building upon those strengths. Goals and treatment may look different for every individual, meaning I may incorporate different therapeutic modalities and the length of treatment will vary based on client needs.
Asch Counseling and Development strongly believes in equity and inclusion, and is dedicated to creating affirming & accessible spaces for all. We strive to include folks of all races, cultures, sexual orientations, gender identities, bodies, abilities, and backgrounds. Anti-racism and Anti-opression work are an ongoing necessary practice and we are committed to continued learning and growth.
Accessibility Considerations
Asch Counseling and Development is committed to being an accessible and inclusive space. I want to acknowledge the accessibility that my practice currently supports and some limitations. I am continuing to learn and am always open to feedback around accessibility considerations.
– I offer telehealth as an alternative to in-person therapy
– I practice on a first floor location. The front door has a ramp and automatic doors.
– I have multiple options for seating in my office. I am committed to fat liberation and have taken that into consideration in choosing my office furniture.
Limitations
– I did not purchase the seating in my waiting room which is low to the ground and has arms on the chairs. This may not be inclusive for all. One option I have is to text me when you arrive and I can come let you into the building when I am ready, so you can wait in your car if that is more comfortable. I am open to more suggestions.
– While I do not own my current office building, the signage on the bathroom is binary and non-inclusive. I continue to work to change this. Please use any bathroom you feel comfortable using.
