About Asya

Asya is a caring mental health counselor committed to supporting individuals on their journey of personal growth and healing. She is passionate about helping clients navigate grief, trauma, past substance use, family conflict, and marital concerns. Asya believes healing begins within a safe, supportive, and authentic therapeutic relationship, and her top priority is creating a welcoming space where clients feel comfortable being their true selves.

Asya takes a person-centered approach to therapy, working collaboratively with each client to understand their goals, values, beliefs, and preferences. She strongly encourages feedback and partnership throughout the therapeutic process to ensure care is aligned with each client’s needs. Her approach integrates solution-focused strategies, mindfulness practices, and cognitive-behavioral techniques, allowing sessions to be thoughtfully tailored to the individual in the room.

Asya earned her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Jacksonville University and her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Penn State University. She is trained in EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which allow her to support clients in processing traumatic experiences in a gentle, effective, and empowering way.

Asya has experience working with teens and adults ages 14–80. She supports clients navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma and PTSD, grief, bipolar disorder, major life transitions and couples conflict including infidelity, and betrayal trauma.

Outside of the therapy room, Asya enjoys spending time with her husband and daughter, as well as family and friends. She loves being outdoors when the weather allows and taking trips back to her hometown in Pennsylvania to escape the heat. In quieter moments, she enjoys relaxing with a good book, a movie, or some couch time with her cats.
