Asher Lutz
Hello, my name is Asher and I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist that specializes in trauma, addiction and anxiety disorders. I specialize in working with children ages 10-18 years of age. I also specialize in working with adults with an emphasis on memory and aging disorders.
Life can be challenging and when we discuss any type of emotional pain and suffering we want to ensure that we are not stigmatizing the things that come forward in therapy but rather we co-exist with and acknowledge it.
I am a brainspotting practitioner which is a trauma/anxiety treatment in the same family of EMDR.
First session
I use the empowerment model, we will discuss your needs and what things brought you to wanting support in your life. We will discuss the cognitive science of thoughts, feelings and behaviors in a psychoanalytic framework. I use a lot of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (emotional regulation interventions), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (situations, thoughts, feelings and the relationship between these concepts), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Strengths
I enjoy emotional attunement with my clients and actively seeking to understand their experiences. Life can be challenging and when we discuss any type of emotional pain and suffering we want to ensure that we are not stigmatizing the things that come forward in therapy but rather we co-exist with and acknowledge it.
Ideal clients
I love working with school aged youth and have more experience with middle and high schoolers. I also specialize in the military community, community healthcare, school based difficulties.
Treatment methods
Brainspotting
Where you look impacts how you feel, this is a treatment that works well for trauma processing, anxiety based fear and processing subconscious material.
EMDR
In EMDR, we use a technique that helps your brain process these stuck memories and feelings more effectively. During a session, I will guide you through recalling a distressing memory, but instead of just talking about it or trying to push it away, we help your brain work through it using bilateral stimulation.
