Asha Goldstein is a psychotherapist who supports people in moving towards greater authenticity, intimacy, and meaning in their relationships with themselves, others, and the earth. She is dedicated to helping others experience deeply integrated transformation that works at the core to transform shame and shed stuck patterns. Asha is passionate about the use of ritual to create change in people’s lives. She brings her experience with dance and movement to help people access their feelings, sensuality, power, and wisdom through their bodies. She also works with the natural world as a source of deep healing and guidance.

Asha’s work incorporates the principles of ecopsychology and deep ecology which believe that our personal well-being is deeply impacted by our relationship with the natural world. She uses despair and empowerment work to help people work with their feelings about environmental devastation and the state of the world. Asha’s work is grounded in the belief that the deep personal growth work she has done is what allows her to hold a powerful space for others’ transformation.

In addition to her Masters degree in Clinical Social Work from Smith College, Asha has special training in play therapy, dance/movement therapy, expressive arts therapy, deep ecology, and carpet work. She draws from her past experience with socially engaged Buddhism, numerous experiential personal growth workshops, original play, contact improvisation, authentic movement, wilderness backpacking, vision fasting, FunPlay, and Spirit Song.
