Living with chronic pain—especially when doctors can’t find a clear cause—can leave you feeling invalidated, stuck, and exhausted. You may feel like your body is betraying you, or that the pain has taken over your life. I have over 10 years of experience specializing in chronic pain therapy grounded in neuroscience and nervous system regulation. My approach integrates Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you unlearn pain and reconnect with your body in a safer, more empowering way.

Are you living life to the fullest? What do you need to help you thrive? Sometimes counseling is focused on coping and healing. Sometimes it's more about personal or relational growth and awareness. It is an honor when people come and are able to trust enough to begin the counseling work. Counseling is such a courageous undertaking. It begins with listening and respect, evolving into a cooperative effort. I strive to offer my clients a safe place to start and a balanced perspective in the change process. I hope I can help you come to a place of wellbeing.

My work is about helping you identify the patterns that keep you stuck so you can create a life that feels nourishing, connected, and authentic. Sometimes the things that keep us from feeling fulfilled are day-to-day stressors or dynamics that feel familiar and repetitive. Often, these blocks show up in our relationships to others and ourselves. I am passionate about joining you in your journey and show up fully with warmth, curiosity, and a calm presence to help you write a new story for yourself.

Living from a loving, soft heart is possible, but talk therapy can feel like just so much mental gymnastics or venting. By contrast, embodied methods such as meditation and breathwork focus on the heart-body inner experience as the core of therapy. Rather than changing through thought alone, mindful therapy works from the bottom up, connecting with your body’s intuition to address issues through Inspiration. The answers lie in a special way of listening to your heart and inner body. I’m Asher Lyman, a licensed Jungian-Somatic therapist with 20+ years of experience, helping you to feel more loving, confident, lively, and clear-eyed.

As a practitioner, my core focus is to create a space that is built on transparency, trust and integrity. I believe that growth comes from the recognition of establishing your personal values, understanding your strengths, and practicing self-reflection in a way that is grounded in kindness and accountability. After 15 years of working as a chef and hospitality manager, I recognized that the greatest rewards of my role came from supporting the personal development of my staff. This realization inspired me to obtain my Masters in Social Work at Portland State University in order to pursue a career as a mental health therapist.

There are so many reasons to seek out therapy. One common theme is feeling overwhelmed by a lack of clarity—not knowing what direction to take or what to do next. Or maybe relationships feel difficult or unsatisfying, whether that’s a recent change or something that’s always been true. You might be asking yourself: Do I really feel like I can be myself in the world? These kinds of questions can be uncomfortable, but they’re also deeply human, and central to our identity and our life story.

I’m passionate about creating because creating is a way of connecting our internal experiences with the world around us and seeing ourselves as a part of the world. When art is part of a therapy session, it is another way to connect to the world, to see how events and those around you influence our emotions. I employ an eclectic approach with a firm reliance on Art. My role as an art therapist when you are making art is 1) to support and free up your process, and 2) to help you describe and find meaning in your creation and to relate it to your more extensive therapy process. I believe we are capable of creating our answers.

Our purpose is to help people live free from sexual addiction, heal from trauma and experience the joy of real intimacy. It takes work to make these dreams happen. It takes having a plan. That is what we provide. A proven plan and way out. We work with addicts and their spouses to get sober and heal from this disease. Whether it's pornography or other forms of infidelity we can help. My wife and I also see typical couples not experiencing addiction to help them with marriage issues and conflict or other communication issues. We are being certified under RLT (Terry Real) with a focus in marriage coaching.
