Ash Anthony LMFT

Washington State Lic#: LF61245016

Trainings, Education and Memberships:

I am currently licensed as a professional LMFT in Washington State, and I hold a MA in Couples and Family Therapy from Antioch University Seattle with an emphasis on family systems therapy, couple’s therapy, sexuality, internalized oppression, addiction psychology and intergenerational trauma.

With a combined 10 years of experience in mindfulness therapy modalities, Jungian Psychology, Transpersonal Psychology, Buddhist meditation practices, yoga and the arts, I will lean into my body of knowledge with empirically researched modalities to best support you.

For years, I’ve worked with individuals and relationships navigating family dynamics and ancestor work, life transitions, creative blocks, psychedelic support, burnout and perfectionism, addiction, sexuality, shadow work, trauma processing, identity expression and integration, spirituality and self discovery.

To keep my practice ethical, I attend monthly supervision in contemplative psychotherapy with Naropa University’s Contemplative Psychotherapy & Buddhist Psychology professor and chair Uğur Kocataşkın, PhDc. Additionally, I attend a peer consult group that investigates the role and impact of internalized oppression in the therapist-client relationship in order to contradict a client’s experience of oppression, and co-create conditions for collective liberation.

My ancestral heritage is Eastern and Central European, Irish, Sephardic and Nanesemond. I honor my ancestors through ritual, art, dance, music and food. I love creating spaces, painting, making short films with friends, playing and recording music, listening to the birds sing in the morning while I sip coffee, writing poetry and making delicious home cooked meals. I am a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and tend to work well with a broad spectrum of human gender expression, sexual identities and relational systems.

“Cure yourself with the light of the sun and the rays of the moon. With the sound of the river and the waterfall. With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of birds. Heal yourself with mint, with neem and eucalyptus. Sweeten yourself with lavender, rosemary, and chamomile. Hug yourself with the cocoa bean and a touch of cinnamon. Put love in tea instead of sugar, and take it looking at the stars. Heal yourself with the kisses that the wind gives you and the hugs of the rain. Get strong with bare feet on the ground and with everything that is born from it. Get smarter every day by listening to your intuition, looking at the world with the eye of your forehead. Jump, dance, sing, so that you live happier. Heal yourself, with beautiful love, and always remember: you are the medicine.”
