Somatic & Depth Therapy for a Life Deeply Rooted.
Offering EMDR, Hakomi Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Couples Therapy, and Psychedelic Therapy in Seattle, Washington.
Return to your nature.
Welcome. I’m glad you found your way here.
You are more than just your thoughts. You are made of stories, traditions, sensations, emotions, breath, imagination, energy, patterns, relationships, nature, and ancestry. Not everything must be transcended; some things ask to be held.
Therapy Modalities
When we are caught in repeating patterns, the body is often carrying what the mind alone cannot resolve. Through somatic and depth-oriented therapy, we slow down to listen, reconnect, and move toward what is true.
-
I am trained in the Hakomi Method, a mindfulness-based somatic therapy that invites self-inquiry through the body. Rather than analyzing your experience, we slow down and listen for the sensations, emotions, beliefs, and impulses that live beneath the surface.
Through mindfulness, gentle experiments, and embodied exploration, Hakomi offers a compassionate path toward deeper self-knowledge and a return to yourself.
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS) begins with the understanding that we all contain different parts of ourselves, each carrying its own history, protective role, and wisdom. Rather than trying to silence these parts, we learn to meet them with curiosity and compassion.
Together, we cultivate a relationship with your inner world that allows greater clarity, integration, and Self-leadership.
-
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a body-centered therapy that helps the nervous system process experiences that remain emotionally “stuck.” Rather than simply talking about the past, EMDR supports the brain’s natural capacity to integrate difficult memories so they no longer carry the same emotional charge.
As old patterns begin to loosen, many people experience greater resilience, emotional freedom, and a renewed sense of safety in the present. EMDR can be a powerful path toward healing trauma, anxiety, grief, and other experiences that continue to shape how we move through life.
-
Transpersonal therapy supports what’s often called a spiritual emergence—a process where meditation, breathwork, dreams, psychedelic experiences, or other nonordinary states can bring profound shifts in awareness. These experiences often deepen meaning, connection, and creativity, yet they can also feel overwhelming or difficult to integrate into everyday life.
Together, we approach these moments with reverence for both their psychological and spiritual dimensions. Through somatic practices, mindfulness, and creative exploration, we gently anchor what’s unfolding—allowing even profound experiences to become lasting sources of wisdom, presence, and purpose.
-
Psychedelic therapy is not about the medicine alone. It is about the relationship we cultivate with the experience before, during, and long after it unfolds. I offer preparation and integration for psychedelic experiences, along with cannabis-assisted therapy as a legal, embodied modality that can deepen self-awareness, support nervous system regulation, and expand therapeutic exploration.
Approached with intention, these experiences can open meaningful pathways for healing, insight, and transformation. Together, we honor the wisdom of both body and psyche—helping profound moments become lasting change through thoughtful preparation, compassionate presence, and careful integration.
-
Relationships are a powerful mirror. They reveal our deepest capacity for love while also bringing our vulnerabilities and protective patterns to the surface. When old armor activates, it’s easy to become caught in cycles of conflict, misunderstanding, and disconnection.
My approach integrates somatic therapy, attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Hakomi, and sex-positive counseling to help you understand what is happening beneath the words. Rather than simply managing arguments, we slow down together—rebuilding relational safety, deepening intimacy, and creating new ways of meeting one another.
Ash Anthony
MA, LMFT
My path into this work began long before I became a therapist. I grew up in a lineage of women shaped by unspoken grief; my great-grandmother lost her life to it, and my grandmother and mother lost much of their capacity to love because of it. That absence left a quiet disconnection in me—one I could feel in my body long before I had the words to name it.
Through years of somatic therapy, parts work, community, and integrating ritual and ceremony into my life, I learned to trust the wisdom of my body and intuition.
Beneath the grief, I discovered my inner knowing had never truly left. I learned that healing is not about fixing what’s broken—because none of us are broken—but about reclaiming what has been buried and patiently giving it room to grow.
The answers we seek already live within us; together, we move toward wholeness, aliveness, and a deeper sense of trust in life.

Not at the moment. I am an "Out of Network" provider for all PPO insurance plans. In some cases, services may be reimbursed in part by your health insurance plan if you have out of network behavioral health coverage. I can provide you with a “superbill' that you can submit to your insurance. It is the client’s responsibility to inquire about their benefit coverage.

Yes. Somatic therapy can often benefit from the felt resonance of working together in the same room, and I prioritize in-person sessions at my office in the SODO neighborhood of Seattle—the ancestral land of the Duwamish and Coast Salish peoples. My office features free parking, a mountain view, and a sweet therapy dog who often joins us in session.
Because somatic and depth work thrive on physical presence, I do not see clients exclusively through telehealth. However, I gladly offer virtual sessions for local Washington state clients who primarily work with me in person but occasionally need flexibility due to scheduling needs, illness, or temporary life transitions.

Please provide at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling by phone, text, or email. Appointments canceled with less than 48 hours’ notice are charged the full self-pay session fee. If we are both able to reschedule within the same calendar week, the fee will be waived, though this cannot be guaranteed.
Because I reserve a recurring appointment time for each client, consistent attendance is important. Clients who cancel two consecutive recurring appointments on two occasions within a six-month period may lose their reserved appointment time and return to as-available scheduling.
-
Yes. If you meet the criteria for family medical leave I can provide your employer or the state with the appropriate paperwork needed to apply for FMLA. When taking FMLA it is required that you are in weekly therapy, and that we provide a treatment plan and summary of your notes to your employer for approval of FMLA. Paperwork fees will be charged accordingly.
