Modern psychiatry meets ancient wisdom
Applying mindfulness practices for the development of emotional intelligence and stability.
The Practice
Dr. Ashe specializes in a therapeutic method that combines the training of a contemporary medical doctor with more traditional systems of healing. This approach supports transforming destructive emotions into conscious learning opportunities to help patients live happier and more productive lives. His practice combines traditional psychiatry with mindfulness training and awareness skills to establish emotional well-being.
The Approach
As a medical doctor and a practitioner of ancient wisdom traditions, Dr. Ashe draws on his personal healing and growth experiences to provide a wider range of treatment options for his clients than most traditional psychiatrists.
These traditions range from ancient mind training techniques such as mindfulness and meditation to modern healing modalities including individual psychotherapy, family therapy, and medication management.
His ultimate goal is to help people understand themselves and cultivate well being. Dr. Ashe finds that well being springs from intimately understanding how one’s own mind contributes to suffering and learning to apply personal practices and remedies. His aspiration is to support patients in moving from reactivity to responsibility in caring for themself and others so they can navigate challenging situations and discover increased emotional stability.

“Dr. Ashe helped me navigate through some of the darkest times of my life, when depression inundated and felt almost insurmountable. He went above and beyond at every turn and every corner, and was integral in cultivating my equanimity through the practice of mindfulness. Dr. Ashe has had a profound and long lasting positive effect on my emotional well-being. He is a compassionate intellectual with an incredibly caring and kind heart. He was not only able to understand me, but also relate to me on a much deeper and underlying level, and to say that’s a rarity is an understatement. Dr. Ashe is as much of a psychiatrist to me as is he is my mentor and friend. I will be forever grateful that he is a part of my life and for the help that he gives others.” — O.D.
“My son’s been seeing Dr Ashe for nearly 10 years. In elementary school, he was combative, highly anxious and struggled to make friends. In those 10 years, Dr. Ashe helped him learn coping mechanisms with ADHD and taught me how to advocate for my son through his school years. Now, my son is a straight “A” student, has great friends with such potential in his life” — C.W.
