Ashley ArasakiLCSW (OR)

I am a bi-racial, Holistic + Systems-based therapist in Portland, OR. I am here to help you remember we are human beings, not human doings. I assist my clients in mindfully rewiring neural pathways to bring the intricacies of the mind, body, and spirit into balance. My primary focus is working with clients impacted by chronic trauma, eating disorders, navigating neurodivergence, and living with BIPOC health or cultural challenges. Additionally, I work with couples desiring assistance with intimacy and conflict resolution. I am dedicated to being in service and helping clients reconnect to their true power and sovereignty.

I have spent years crafting my clinical style; using interventions based in social science and eastern medicine. I specialize in EMDR, Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness, Attachment Theory, CBT, CRT, Jungian Therapy, and different frameworks of spirituality. In addition, I am trained health at every size and eating disorder informed provider.

Hardships create cracks and holes that feel beyond repair, but much like the Japanese art from Kintsugi, I believe there is no such thing as being broken. With quality care and compassion any gaps can be filled with gold. Whether you have been on your healing journey for years or just beginning, I am grateful to explore your inner landscapes beside you.
