Tashau Asefaw

Welcome! I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and I have over 17 years of experience working with individuals and helping them identify their strengths and improve their quality of life. I was raised with one parent living with both substance use disorder and mental health conditions and the other living through incarceration. Most of my experience has been in the realm of providing behavioral health services in healthcare settings, primarily primary care and inpatient.

The foundation of my therapeutic approach is the therapeutic relationship. I work to create an environment where you feel safe, supported and where you can share who you are. We would then develop goals based on your needs and what you share would be the healthiest version of you. My approach to therapy is without judgement, respectful, person-centered, strengths-based and is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual.

My areas of focus include, but are not limited to, anxiety, women’s issues, life transitions/adjustments and life challenges faced by individuals who identify as Black, Indigenous, and people of color. I utilize multiple therapy models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy. I enjoy working with individuals and supporting them on the journey towards healing and I look forward to working with you towards enhanced well-being.
