Aschel has been working with EDRS since late 2019 as a Recovery Specialist and now as a therapist. She brings a playful, caring, and curious approach to her work with clients as an LMSW in the state of New York. Aschel is also a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist (CCTSI).

Aschel obtained her MSW with integrated (clinical and community) concentration at the University of New England. While completing her masters, Aschel worked with elementary and high school aged children and adults, providing therapy and group leadership. She also completed the unique Arts and Social Justice Certificate and Training in Aging and Diversity fellowship.

Prior to this, Aschel worked with adults with intellectual uniqueness at a day program leading trail walks, cooking classes, and art lessons. She also received a BA in Design at Otago University in New Zealand, her country of birth, and traveled extensively around Europe and South America.

Guided by a belief in the healing power of a therapeutic relationship, Aschel feels incredibly lucky to be a part of a team at EDRS that truly cares about their shared mission to provide supportive and tailored services to each and every client!
