“Most human suffering is related to love and loss and the job of therapists is to help people acknowledge, experience, and bear the reality of life- with all its pleasures and heartbreak.” -Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D. As a LCSW , I strive to create an open, honest, and compassionate space for each individual I meet. I believe in meeting clients where they are at while they explore their life experiences and make connections to find a deeper understanding of themselves. I have worked with many clients who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues, and other mental health disorders.

I am always impressed by people taking the courageous first step toward understanding their own story and I feel honored to help people begin identifying areas in need of new insight and inspiration, in making changes, and in living a life that more closely reflects their values. You can expect to be met with empathy and to walk away with concrete goals after a session together. I follow a mixture of theoretical orientations, but am drawn to the tangible objectives of CBT as well as the focus on values found in Acceptance & Commitment Theory.

Inner peace comes when we accept ourselves, live in the present, find hope for the future and consciously choose how we respond to the world around us.

Waitlist for new clients
Asato works with anxiety, depression, trauma, childhood abuse, stress-related issues, interpersonal communication & relationships. She also works in the area of money scripts - our beliefs and behaviors related to money - to help create clients’ new beliefs by applying EMDR. Shapiro (2018) noted it as: when something traumatic happens, the event can get locked in the brain with the original imagery, sounds, thoughts, feelings…. As the experience is locked there, it continues to be triggered whenever a reminder comes up. EMDR seems to unlock & allow your brain to reprocess the experience, while the client is the one in control.

For the past 12 years, I have dedicated my career to the field of mental health. I began working in a residential facility supporting individuals struggling with substance abuse, during the peak of the Oxycontin epidemic. To further help those affected, I became a certified substance abuse counselor. From there, I transitioned to an outpatient treatment facility, where I worked with clients from diverse backgrounds. Later, I shifted my focus to working with children who had experienced trauma. I expanded my skillset by training in equine-assisted and play therapy to apply to my work with children.
