Asha Islaw, LICSW

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with over 8 years of experience working in clinical therapy, child protection, and nonprofit sectors. I specialize in addressing issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, and other health issues, utilizing therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). My commitment to mental health is rooted in a compassionate and empathetic approach, dedicating time to comprehensively understand my clients' life experiences and fostering a trusting therapeutic relationship. Recognizing the complexity of behavioral health concerns, I value collaboration and actively engage clients in problem-solving and tailored treatment plans.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in providing support to individuals and families, as well as young adults, navigating the intricate landscape of mental health. My dedication extends beyond clinical expertise, encompassing a genuine commitment to empowering my clients. I strive to stay attuned to the latest developments in the field, continually expanding my knowledge and skills. With a deep sense of purpose, I endeavor to make a positive impact on the lives of those I serve, fostering resilience and growth. Clients find in me a dedicated ally on their journey to mental and emotional wellness, where collaboration, understanding, and effective problem-solving converge with therapeutic modalities to create meaningful change.
