Ashley Mason
Counselor/Therapist, CMHC, LMHC
I work with thoughtful women who have built careers, families, and lives that look “put together” on the outside but quietly carry the old wounds of growing up with critical, narcissistic, or emotionally unavailable mothers. Even now, after all they’ve accomplished, many of my clients find themselves wrestling with guilt, people-pleasing, and an unshakable sense of never being enough.
My approach draws from 20 years of psychoanalytic training, finely tuned listening, and a spacious, non-intrusive presence. Together, we explore the hidden patterns that keep them stuck — the echoes of a mother’s voice that still shape their self-worth and choices — and create room for their own true voice to emerge.
Through this deeper work, my clients learn to set boundaries without collapse, let go of guilt that never belonged to them, and cultivate trust in themselves. The outcome is not just external success, but something more profound: the freedom to live authentically, with peace, confidence, and a genuine sense of being at home within themselves.

Allyson Eggleton with Beacon Therapy of Utah
Pre-Licensed Professional, CSW
I believe we all hold the capacity to heal within ourselves—sometimes it just takes the right space and support to uncover it. My work is grounded in empathy and curiosity, creating a space to explore the emotions, thoughts, and patterns that shape your experiences. Together, we’ll identify your values, build confidence, and develop coping skills and self-trust that support lasting healing and balance. My practice supports individuals of all ages, with a special focus on helping adolescents and young adults navigate transitions, strengthen self-esteem, and develop a clearer sense of self.
As a therapist and former Division I athlete, I understand the desire to grow while carrying life’s many demands. I’m also passionate about working with athletes as they explore the connection between performance, identity, and mental health, drawing on my own experience with the pressures of striving for excellence—on and off the field, water, rink, etc.
Outside of therapy, I coach high school rowing and find meaning in helping athletes strengthen both body and mind. As a native New Englander, time in nature grounds me, and thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2022 deepened my appreciation for resilience, presence, and the quiet power of taking things one step at a time.

Sarah Gersick
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When new stressors arise, they can activate old patterns that make it hard to cope in a healthy way. It helps to have a place to talk through what is happening in your life today while also working to understand how the past is informing the present. I am an experienced psychodynamic psychologist who can help you do both, so you can reduce distress you are feeling now, and make deep changes that lead to better coping in the future.

Dr. Sarah Pouliot
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Psychotherapy is most effective when two people (therapist and client) work together to develop a type of therapeutic relationship that not only seeks to make sense of unfolding dynamics but also provides a safe place from which to explore both the known and unknown. In other words, psychotherapy or counseling should offer a meaningful experience, offering new ways of being, relating, and experiencing. Lasting change becomes possible when we are able to find and apply new ways of thinking and feeling about ourselves and others - new ways of relating or responding to the world in which we live and engage.
