Ash Gangadean, MA, LMHC
Holistic Therapist
If you’re someone who prioritizes other people's needs over your own, if you question your deservingness and worth, if you feel sensitive and overwhelmed by an intense world, if your perfectionism won’t let you relax, or if your physical and mental health are impacting your relationships and quality of life, I am really glad you are here. Many of these issues can leave you feeling isolated, lost, directionless or lacking a sense of identity and purpose. I use a holistic approach to help my clients discover and change their patterns of behavior formed from feeling othered and marginalized, chronic stress, chronic illness, family dysfunction and trauma.
My clients tend to be those who experience oppression, people in the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, 1st and 2nd generation immigrants, highly sensitive people, those with chronic illness, and those who work high stress/pressure jobs sometimes including secondary trauma. I welcome all walks of life to this space and strive to help you feel safe enough to unravel the complexity of who you are, with me as your witness.
The therapy I provide asks you to be brave enough to go into deeper and more vulnerable places where you can unearth how you truly feel and experience the world. Therapy with me will help you move towards living more authentically, recover your sense of purpose, awe and meaning, and hopefully live a more peaceful life. I use Internal Family Systems, EMDR, strengths-based, relational healing and somatic awareness therapies to help you heal your traumas, phobias, negative beliefs, etc. I offer a free 20-minute consultation and look forward to hearing more about what brings you to therapy.
Services
Individual Therapy
I offer a holistic approach to healing and wellness that can help you feel empowered on your path to healing.
I am specialized in working with all types of trauma, chronic illness, chronic stress, self-esteem issues, perfectionism, gender identity, sexual orientation issues, coming out, family of origin issues and overall identity formation. I also like to incorporate resources that you may find helpful in your unique healing that can include spiritual practices, drawing from tarot, and using creativity to heal.
I am only offering telehealth therapy at this time.
EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy method that helps people heal from the emotional distress of trauma and other disturbing life experiences. It can be used to treat complex PTSD, developmental trauma, sexual trauma, religious trauma, and phobias.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR does not require a detailed description of the traumatic event.
Clinical Supervision
Clinical supervision is a collaborative and confidential process where I will provide guidance, support and mentorship for therapists seeking licensure and/or want to further their clinical skills.
This relationship is a critical part of professional training and development for mental health professionals.
