Kenneth Asher, PhD

Specialties

Life is complicated, to live, to understand, to guide. As a psychologist with a scientific background, I strive to understand the complexity of people’s thoughts, emotions, and actions, and to use that understanding to help those who seek my services. In addition to the more traditional roles of evaluation and treatment, I teach, advise, and consult on a wide range of questions of a psychological nature. While I espouse a rational approach in my work, I recognize that we do what we do in life out of our own desire to find meaning and a better life.

I work with children, adolescents, adults of all ages, people with disabilities, parents.

Also, I can coordinate with other providers, schools.

I provide very flexible, practical, individualized approaches to help your particular situation.

My major areas of expertise span the full age-​range. They include problems of young people from early childhood to young adulthood, developmental disabilities, medical behavioral concerns, clinical diagnostic issues, and «problems of living». I have worked with a wide range of severity, from normal developmental issues to severe psychopathology. As appropriate, I employ a variety of treatment modalities, including behavioral, cognitive, and insight-​oriented. I work with individuals, families, and groups.

I completed doctoral studies in clinical psychology at Peabody College of Vanderbilt University in 1987, with emphases in child and pediatric psychology, and developmental disabilities. In addition, I have graduate degrees in developmental psychology and human development, and postdoctoral training in clinical psychology and developmental disabilities. Since 1988, I have been in private practice in psychology in the Seattle area, moving in late-​2010 moved to Lake Forest Park.
