Ash Anthony, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist
Seattle WA
I provide psychedelic preparation and integration, and cannabis-assisted psychotherapy when clinically appropriate and medically authorized.
I do not provide or facilitate access to illegal substances, including MDMA or psilocybin.
Whether a psychedelic experience happens within legal clinical care, in a ceremonial context, or elsewhere in your life, I can help you explore what arose and how it relates to your body, relationships, values, identity, and ordinary life.
Support may include:
* preparation and harm reduction
* integration of psychedelic or non-ordinary experiences
* somatic therapy and IFS
* EMDR when appropriate
* dreamwork and symbolic exploration
* grounding and support returning to ordinary routines, relationships, and responsibilities
* ongoing psychotherapy that includes emotional, psychological, relational, and spiritual dimensions of experience
While I am trained in somatic therapy, transpersonal psychology, and psychedelic-assisted therapy, I do not work from a single model. My approach is somatic, relational, and depth-oriented, with attention to the body, unconscious material, symbolism, and the patterns that shape how we relate to joy, connection, creativity, and ourselves.
Depending on the work, I may draw from Hakomi Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, dreamwork, mindfulness, breath-based practices, and psychedelic preparation and integration. I am interested in what becomes visible when we slow down enough to notice sensation, imagery, emotion, protective patterns, and the parts of experience that may not be available through conversation alone.
My training includes Hakomi Somatic Therapy, EMDR, psychedelic-assisted therapy with ketamine, and MAPS MDMA-assisted therapy training. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in filmmaking and the visual arts, and that creative background continues to shape how I work with story, symbolism, imagination, and the unconscious.
I believe there is an essential goodness in each of us, something deeper than the adaptations and patterns we develop over time. My work is grounded in helping people relate to those patterns with greater compassion while strengthening connection to presence, creativity, vitality, and choice.
