Couples Counseling Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

Please check out my website for more info and videos I've created on the therapy process and therapeutic concepts: ashleymasontherapy.com Maybe you feel anxious, sad, or numb but don't know why or believe you don't really have a reason to feel those things. Maybe you push others away when you really want them to come closer. I'm passionate about building a relationship with you that helps increase insight into these internal conflicts, gaining a sense of peace and more ease in being yourself. I am committed to working as deeply as necessary with you to help you feel mastery in regulating your emotions.

I feel called to do this work, and enjoy working with adults grappling with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, negative feelings about themselves, or a general sense of disconnection or dissatisfaction. People often come in feeling lost or stuck. They may not understand why they feel the way they feel or do the things they do. Some have tried therapy before and felt it didn’t work. I strive to offer a safe space where you can speak openly and get curious about your internal life. Together, we can develop a shared understanding of your challenges and rework what is no longer serving you.

Accepting NEW Clients - - - Are you living your best life? Are you feeling stuck? I provide evidence based treatments to help you experience a life with meaning and purpose and to feel better quickly. During our sessions, my goal is for you to feel unconditional acceptance and compassion in our relationship . My style is friendly, light-hearted and I use humor quite a bit. I will work with your strengths and unique needs to cultivate an environment where you can learn the skills to boost the quality of your life.

I enjoy and am experienced in working with families, couples , and individuals. Clients and families who I work with often want more from life and for themselves, even if they have not been able to wrap their heads around how they got to be in the place they are currently.

My hope is to help. Whether you are dealing with challenges as an individual, a couple, or a family, we will work together in creating the changes you seek. You may have a specific goal in mind, perhaps even a fairly good idea of how to get there, but maybe not - maybe you're only aware of what you don't want and what's not working. That in and of itself is a perfectly acceptable place to start!

Reaching out for help is uncomfortable! Coming to therapy takes a lot of courage. The world feels heavy and hard right now. Our relationships are suffering leaving us feeling anxious, lonely, or depressed. You may feel like no matter how hard you try, you just can't seem to communicate with your partner or family members. Maybe discussions turn into arguments that never seem to get resolved, leaving you both feeling hurt and alone. Perhaps you or your loved one are dealing with a faith transition and you feel lost and confused. It's hard to love so much and yet feel so distant and disconnected!

My approach to therapy is deeply collaborative, intensive and dynamic.  We will work together to get to the heart of the impasse that you’re experiencing in your life, no matter how debilitating or serious it may be.  I will help you to develop the awarenesses, the confidence and the tools to not only move forward, but to unlock a whole new realm of possibilities for you and those you love.  What I’ve been told often throughout my 18 years as a therapist is that I am direct and honest in a way that is refreshing, while unwavering and unrelenting in my compassion and care.

Perhaps relationship difficulties and losses, infidelity, divorce, abuse, sexual trauma, and/or other's needs and expectations have left your heart and soul feeling broken and burdened? You may be struggling with depression, anxiety, and other mood issues as a result. Do you long for healing and empowerment? Do you long to remember who you really are, what you really want, and how to get your life back on track? Are you ready to heal your relationship with yourself, others, and other important aspects of your life? I believe the solution to your challenges lies within you, within your true identity and nature, coming from the brilliance and wisdom of your authentic self and spiritual presence. You just need support accessing your innate ability to heal and develop.

In my Somatic approach to psychotherapy, I find it an incredibly sacred space that invites folks into experiencing the holistic (mind,body,heart,soul) embodiment of being. It is an invaluable gift to witness individuals in their aliveness. Each individual, present, powerful, and vibrant in their unique creative expression. My diverse approaches weave a smorgasbord from many ancient eastern and western modalities and practices. All my blessings of love, peace, and warmth. Feel free to be in touch if you feel called, I am here to support your homecoming.

I work with adults, adolescents, children and families dealing with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, low self esteem, stress, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions and relationship issues.

Being a teenager can be tough. Being a parent of a teenager can be even more so. Because this is such an intense developmental period, when you realize you need some outside help, finding the right person can be tricky. Over the past sixteen years, I have connected with teens, young adults and their parents to help them find their way to stronger relationships and a solid sense of self. I help teens and young adults with addiction, eating disorders, anxiety and depression, communication and life skills, family relationships, trauma, social media anxiety/isolation, and more.

For the most part we are all walking around pretending to be okay and hoping our positive affirmations, daily meditations, gratitude journal entries and the annoying latest push-up challenge will finally pay off with the bliss, confidence and motivation we see in our imaginary future selves. When in reality we might be feeling the cliché, "Hot MESS", which I will say has a certain je ne sais quoi about it. Right? The truth is we all have a core self who wants to be healed and has the power to do it!Yet it is almost impossible to do without true Connection, Compassion and Curiosity of who we really are.

Over the last 10 years I've specialized in working with teens, young adults and their family systems. It's hard to find a good therapist who can sincerely help those struggling with depression, anxiety, failure to launch, oppositional defiance, substance abuse, relationship difficulties, lack of motivation and emotional regulation. If you're feeling stuck, angry, lost or confused, it can be helpful to meet with someone who can meet you where you are at and help you create a better life though understanding, compassion and confidence. I work especially well with parents and teens who have tried other options and ready for progress.

My passion is supporting those with neurodiverse traits. Whether you have a diagnosis of Autism/ADHD/etc. or just feel a little “out of step” with the world around you, I’m here to help. In working with me, you won’t find a stiff or reserved environment. I approach therapy with a sense of authenticity, humor, and the knowledge that none of us can navigate this wild world alone. I enjoy getting creative in providing a unique, personal experience for each one of my clients.

I work with individuals, couples , families, and also work in crisis counseling. I am an avid advocate and ally for the LGBTQ++ community. I am sensitive to the needs of various populations and approach everyone I meet with love and acceptance. Currently, I only do telehealth appointments.

Do you feel stuck in your stories of not being good enough, feeling inadequate, or worthless? Having fears of failure and rejection? Do you feel burned out and pissed off at the ways you experience oppression? Are you anxious and have unresolved relationship trauma from a difficult ex or a troublesome parent(s), that is holding you back from your true authentic self? How would your life be different if you were able to show up powerful, unapologetic, fearless, and as the true badass you really are?
