I will respond to all inquiries within 24 hours. Visit my website to schedule a consultation or appointment. My goal in therapy is to help individuals gain insight, develop self-awareness, and build the skills and strategies needed to lead a fulfilling and satisfying life. It's a collaborative process, where the individual and therapist work together to achieve the individual's goals, and it can be a powerful tool for personal growth and change.

Relationships are a dominant presence in our lives; we are meant to be relational. The relationships we remember from the past, experience in the present, and anticipate in the future are perhaps the most influential force in shaping who we are. I believe there are three types of relationships that therapy can foster health in - a person's relationship with himself or herself, a person's relationship with other people, and, for people of faith, a person's relationship with God. There is perhaps no better gift that could be received than a healthier relationship in these areas.

My couples therapy work has spanned 20 years. In addition to the attraction and happiness of being a couple, there are always challenges. I use an interactional model to help you understand the sources of difficulties so that you can emerge from therapy with ways of solving conflicts. I have worked with couples who are thinking of moving in or marrying, are married or living together, are considering divorce. are divorcing or are in post divorce situations. Parenting issues are an area of particular interest to me.

When we think about all the pain and suffering we endure during our lifetime, how much of it is necessary, and how much of it is avoidable? It is my belief that most individuals have the power to drastically change their own circumstances; yet we may falter by falling victim to our old routines and habits. The therapeutic journey is about questioning these automatic responses, while empowering you to take the steps needed to create long-lasting change. “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” - Viktor Frankl

You are a good person. You are authentic, open, honest, and vulnerable. However, there is someone in your life who takes advantage of your good nature and makes your life a living Hell. While you are open and honest, they respond with secrecy, lies, and often blame you for creating your own stress. I am here to help you sort through all of the chaos and create some peace in your life. Call me and we can discuss how I can help you create appropriate boundaries, and/or start the process of finding another human who will treat you in the same caring way that you treat others. I have evening hours (after 530pm) for people who work days.

People can feel stuck only to repeat bad habits that keep them from goals and dreams. These patterns are usually what keep us stuck and frustrated. Change is possible and achievable! I join my clients on their journey to help them become encouraged and find ways to reconnect to themselves as well as others around them. A focus in my practice is helping clients to feel heard and understood as well as guiding them in making attainable goals that will enhance and enrich their quality of life. Working as a team, we will look at many aspects of the patterns in your life that may be harmful, ineffective, or simply unhelpful.

Too often psychotherapy focuses on causality, pathology and cures. However, rather than being "sick" or 'broken", often we are just lost inside ourselves or relationships. Everyone is a unique person with their own story, experience and perspective. The goal of therapy is to achieve a deeper awareness of where we are, to discover internal meaning for our many experiences, and to experience a life worth living. While working towards that awareness, I also feel it important to teach individuals, couples and families the skills needed to cope with the pain and day to day stressors that bring them into therapy.

A commitment to excellence has been the guiding principle in my career. I received my training and education from prestigious programs including USC, Univ. of Michigan Medical School, UCLA Medical School, and the Ann Arbor VAMC. I have a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and a Masters in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling. I was taught and trained by some of the best in the field. I am regarded as an expert in different areas by authoring numerous peer-reviewed publications and giving dozens of presentations. I am committed to and passionate about helping people grow, change, and live fuller, happier, more productive lives.

At times our lives feel hopeless. Anyone can change, but without help and support change is difficult. We can learn how our life experiences affect us today. We can learn new tools to better cope and even thrive. You need to feel safe in exploring your life. I connect easily with people, creating an environment of trust. I am someone who will listen, genuinely care and provide feedback rather than silent head nodding. I am confident I can help you and reaching out is the first step. If your life isn't working or you feel hopeless you can change, please call or email me. Please leave a message if I’m in session. I will call you back.

If you are searching for help with finding the right dating relationship, reducing the conflicts and disagreements in your current relationship, or recovering from the recent end of a relationship hoping for another, then I can guide you through this season and assist you in creating a plan to be in the kind of healthy and thriving relationship you desire! I am passionate about seeing people in successful romantic partnerships and I lead individuals and couples toward more effective ways to find and sustain a lasting relationship as well as communicate with compassion and resolve conflict in a respectful, constructive manner.

Hope and Change. The counseling relationship that we will engage in together, will not be the traditional, canned approach to therapy; but a unique, individualized and insightful look at your needs and desires. Life is not just about problems to be solved but solutions to be lived. I specialize in creating additional resources and groups to facilitate a whole life treatment plan. Below I have listed some of my "Thriving" groups for health, wellness and growth. Along with the groups below I have other Men's, Women's and Co-gender groups. Please call for more information of days and times.

As a therapist, I bring life experience and a direct but easygoing approach to helping you with your mental health concerns. Primarily using a mix of Narrative and CBT Therapy (with other methods as needed), I help you discover your ability to work through the issues that are stopping you from being the best “you” possible. I work with Individuals, couples, children, and teens. I have experience with dealing with high-conflict divorce and the fallout damage it can cause. Whether you are a couple looking for a "tune-up", an individual going through a tough patch or you have a teen going through a difficult time, I can help.

Welcome to the webpage for Jason Blanton, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist.

I believe in an approach that people are the experts in their own lives, and I am here to help guide them from a professional standpoint.

Ever feel like your mind is a twisty labyrinth… And you’re the bewildered adventurer trying to navigate it? Maybe you’re grappling with anxiety, feeling down, or just downright lost. Life can be overwhelming. You might face challenges at home, work, school, or community. These challenges can lead to a tangle of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that make it hard to find your way. You’re not the only one. When life throws challenges our way, it can leave us feeling like we’re stuck in a maze, trying to find our way out. Therapy is your roadmap to a better life and better relationships.

Do you find yourself struggling with episodes of sadness? Do you feel anxious or have difficulty managing your emotions? Have you lost interest in activities you once enjoyed? Have you gone through a traumatic experience and continue to have flashbacks? If so, I can help you make sense of your past experiences so that you can live a life full of joy. You have the ability to live the life you so desire, and today you are one step closer to fulfilling that dream.

My vision of the counseling process comes from a belief that all of us, at times, encounter experiences that we are unable to handle on our own. These brief times are but a small moment in the course of our existence. How we handle these small moments can make a big difference in the direction and quality of our lives. This, to me, is the essence of being a therapist. My goal is to help others learn, grow and develop the tools and skills necessary to triumph during these difficult times.

We all go through emotional storms where we feel emotionally and physically stuck; we worry too much and lose control of ourselves. Do you find yourself thrown off balance by your childhood trauma? Childhood traumatic experiences such as abandonment, abuse, and neglect lead to social anxiety. My approach is solution-focused and tailored to your needs and goals. I am committed to providing a profound sense of safety and offering compassionate and actionable guidance to all my clients.
