Dial 988 for Mental Health

July 2020, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) designated 988 as the new three-digit number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. This three-digit phone number was created to increase access to immediate crisis supports and provide a nationwide, easy-to-remember alternative to calling 911 for mental health crises.  By July 2022, all telecommunications companies will have to make the necessary changes so calls to 988 will be directed to the current National Suicide Prevention Lifeline call centers.

Trapped Emotions Lead to Chronic Pain

June 2019 study shows that emotional pain can result in physical/chronic conditions.  Dr. Susan Babel, a psychologist specializing in trauma-induced depression, noted in a recent study that “Studies have shown that chronic physical pain might not only be caused by physical injury but also by stress and emotional issues.” These conditions are often-times treated as if they are from physical trauma, but the truth is that oral medications do not reach the root of these issues. This study summarized it’s findings by stating that pain can act as a warning sign that something needs to be resolved, so listen to it closely. And, the next time you feel physical pain – stop and think about what’s on your mind, what might you be holding onto, that is causing you pain.

A Holistic Approach to Healing the Body, Mind, and Soul.

Finding the right therapist for your needs can be a daunting task. So often, it is a trial and error process. It is important that the client resonates with the therapist in several ways. The therapist needs to be a good listener, compassionate and understanding, be strengths-focused and practical, and also non-judgmental and perceptive. Combining these attributes with appropriate skill sets and treatment plans will help to ensure success for the client.

I look at each individual as unique and as such, may use certain combinations of alternative therapies that would have the optimal chance of helping you. I would work collaboratively with you so that you may be further empowered and be an integral part of the healing process. I have spent decades developing these modalities so that I can best serve you.

I work with adults and elders to cultivate coping skills and find creative solutions to achieve preferred outcomes.

Ashira O. YoungI’m Ashira Young, and I provide a blended holistic approach to physical & mental health using alternative healing modalities and traditional mental health therapy.

So, just what does that mean?

It means that I am a clinical social worker and therapist. However, I’ve discovered that there are times that traditional mental health therapy can use some help. I turned to the alternative and complementary side of healing to bring about the best and most long-lasting results for my clients.

My goal is to help you. Whether that is through traditional mental health therapy or alternative healing doesn’t matter, as long as you are making positive progress and are feeling better.

I’ve found that the connection between emotions and physical pain is that treating only one or the other doesn’t bring the most comprehensive relief. I utilize both sides of treatment and healing to bring long-term solace.

Ashira preforming muscle testingMy treatments can be performed through online or phone sessions. Like all treatments dealing with emotional, mental, or physical ailments, it usually requires multiple sessions to completely resolve the issue. As we deal with emotional situations and trauma, some may reactivate by re-exposure to triggering events and locations or experiencing a new trauma.

Beyond traditional areas services by mental health therapy, I can help you break through emotional blockages. These issues hold you back from achieving things and experiences that you desire in your life.

  • Would you like to have fulfilling employment?
  • How about successful and nurturing relationships?
  • What about being able to pay bills without worry?
  • Or would you like to access the inner power within you?
  • Would you like to experience your heart’s desires?

What is the first thing that comes to mind?

Oh, I can’t imagine that…

Gee, it means such hard work

Or

I just don’t think I can achieve that…

Did you know that YOUR BELIEFS, and the things you focus on, determine the outcome of your life? You attract to you that to which you give your attention. Do you want to give your attention to pain, knowing it will only bring more to you? Do you want to focus on “lack”? Lack of money. Lack of time. Lack of freedom. Lack of resources. Or, do you want to let go of those ingrained limiting beliefs and find a world of plenty and abundance?

What would that look like to you? Would it be money enough that you don’t have to worry about the bills? What about the freedom of movement and energy to do what YOU want, when YOU want? How about the knowledge that you ARE enough. You ARE capable. You ARE talented. You ARE… whatever YOU WANT to be.

Henry Ford said something profound:
‘If you think you can do a thing or think that you can’t do a thing, you’re right.’

Beliefs often stop us from EXPERIENCING the magic of life.

A magician accomplishes things that ‘defy belief.’ So clearly, the limiting beliefs and the trapped emotions stop you from experiencing the magic of life. Release the bonds holding you in place and claim the life you desire and deserve.

Contact Ashira today and take the first step to a life free of pain and emotional distress, and grab hold of the life you deserve.

Ashira is one of those rare people who is an open book. She is totally straightforward and completely honest, qualities that are all too rare in today’s world.

As I have gotten to know her better, I have come to understand the depth of the challenges she has faced in her life. Overcoming her personal “mountains” of opposition have given her deep reservoirs of strength, as well as profound empathy for other’s suffering, things that combine to make her a great healer.

When Ashira sets out to do something, she doesn’t accept failure or defeat. She is on a path and a mission to change the world. She will succeed, without a doubt, because she has a habit of never giving up, no matter how hard the going may be!”
