Meet Ashton

Ashton Guidebeck, MFT

“At the heart of my practice are three foundational principles: authenticity, curiosity, and respect.”

Authenticity forms the cornerstone of my therapeutic philosophy. I firmly believe in the transformative power of honest connection to others, and I actively encourage you to explore and embrace your true self. By fostering an environment of openness and authenticity, we can collaboratively navigate the complexities of your experiences and emotions.

Curiosity is another key element in our journey together. I am dedicated to understanding your unique narrative, encouraging self-reflection, and exploring the diverse facets of your life. Through this curiosity-driven process, we can uncover hidden strengths, identify areas for growth, and work towards a more profound understanding of your personal journey.

Respect is the guiding force that shapes our therapeutic relationship. I recognize and honor the diversity of your experiences, valuing the intersections of culture, identity, and individuality. In this inclusive and respectful space, we can navigate challenges and triumphs alike, fostering an environment where you feel not just heard, but truly seen and understood.

Who I work with:

I specialize in guiding individuals, couples, friends, and families seeking support in navigating life transitions, managing stress, or addressing mental health concerns. I work with challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, self-esteem, career and life transitions, and relationship dynamics. 

Engaging with clients from a strengths-based perspective, I adopt a warm, direct, and individualized approach to each person. Additionally, I am dedicated to providing trauma-informed, culturally competent care. As your therapist, my ultimate goal is to assist you in developing effective coping strategies, building resilience, and fostering a deeper understanding of yourself within the context of your closest relationships and environment.
