SASHA LEWIS ASUMAA, M.S, LPC, NCC
Education and Experience:
Sasha holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a Concentration in Sexuality and Gender from Georgia State University and a Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Georgia State University.
Sasha started her journey working with women at Planned Parenthood in 2002 where she provided sexual health information to young women around the Atlanta area. In 2004, Sasha accepted an internship at Kaiser Permanente in the Eating Disorder Program under the supervision of Tammy Holcomb, LPC, where she worked with individuals struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and trauma. This experience also included individual and group work with gastric bypass pre and post candidates. In 2005, Sasha accepted a position at Peachford Hospital, in Chamblee Georgia as a therapist on the Eating Disorder unit. While at Peachford, Sasha continued her work with women and men struggling with anorexia, bulimia, and other food related issues, as well as self esteem, depression, anxiety, and codependency through individual, group, and family counseling. In 2006, Sasha accepted a case management and therapist position on the Women's Unit at Ridgeview Institute in Smyrna, Georgia. While at Ridgeview, Sasha worked with individuals, groups, families, and couples struggling with an array of issues including eating disorders, trauma, domestic violence, self esteem, codependency, addiction, body image, anger, coping skills, stress management, anxiety, depression, and life balance...in other words: a little bit of everything! Sasha thoroughly enjoyed her time and team at Ridgeview, but decided it was time to start focusing on private practice in 2008. A Better You Counseling Services, LLC was formed and has been growing ever since!
