Ashera DeRosa Verified Provider

Based out of Buffalo, New York, Ashera DeRosa is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who provides trauma informed telehealth psychotherapy services to residents across the state. She’s the founder of Whole Stories Therapy, and can be contacted by phone or through their website. Initial consultations are offered free of charge, and flexible scheduling is available to accommodate work, school, and family commitments.

Special Focus on Women and LGBTQIA+ Individuals

With a background in sexual health education and violence prevention advocacy, she makes a commitment to inclusive, client centered care. Specializing in treating women and members of the LGBTQIA+ community, her services focus on adults and teenagers 14 and older. 

Seeking to create a safe space where clients can explore their truth, her treatment “celebrates identity, fosters emotional resilience, and centers on each client’s lived experience.”

EMDR and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy

Counseling centers around complex trauma (C-PTSD) and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and mood issues, and chronic stress and adjustment challenges. She also works with clients on self esteem and identity development. 

Modalities employed include eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), narrative therapy, brainspotting, and ketamine assisted psychotherapy. I think it’s important to note that she also has expertise in trauma interventions.
