Mara Aguayo, CSW

My name is Mara, and I am a neurodivergent-affirming, LGBTQIA+-affirming, trauma-informed therapist who is passionate about creating a safe, respectful, and empowering space for healing and self-expression. I believe that therapy is most effective when you feel seen, heard, and supported in showing up authentically. My
approach is client-centered and rooted in connection, visibility, and the understanding that each person brings their own strengths, identities, and lived experiences to the therapeutic process.

My journey in this field began with my undergraduate work at the University of Utah, where I earned bachelor’s degrees in Psychology, Sociology, and Criminology. I am currently pursuing my Master of Social Work degree through Walden University, with an
expected graduation in May 2026.

I have five years of experience in the mental health field across a variety of settings including residential treatment for substance use, day treatment with children and adolescents, a health psychology clinic supporting individuals with medical-related trauma and chronic or terminal illness, and outpatient work supporting clients of all ages to identify goals and build life skills that foster independence and autonomy. Through this work, I developed a deep passion for supporting individuals as they reclaim power
in their own lives and cultivate confidence in their internal wisdom.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, and have experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, trauma, and other mental health concerns.

Outside of the therapy room, I find creativity and calm through reading, crochet, and most things artistic. I also have a deep love for animals and am a proud snake mama to a ball python—and I absolutely adore frogs! Above all, I hope to meet you with compassion, curiosity, and respect as we explore your story, nurture your voice, and build a foundation of authenticity and empowerment
together.

Tiffany Giron, CSW

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, specifically the San Fernando Valley. I grew up with parents who had immigrated from El Salvador to escape the civil war that was happening during the 80s. As a child of immigrants, I have a deep appreciation for the
importance of cultural sensitivity and the unique challenges that come with navigating multiple identities. Growing up between cultures taught me the value of empathy, adaptability, and understanding diverse perspectives—qualities that I bring into my work with clients. I recognize that healing cannot be a one-size-fits-all approach; it must honor each person’s unique background, values, and lived experiences. This awareness informs
my commitment to providing inclusive, affirming, and culturally responsive care to individuals from all walks of life.

My professional experience includes supporting survivors of domestic violence, individuals facing substance use challenges, and those healing from various forms of trauma. I integrate
evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, ACT and mindfulness practices to promote holistic healing and resilience. My goal is to empower clients to rediscover their strengths, cultivate self-compassion, and become the best versions of themselves. I believe that with the right support and guidance, healing is not only possible—it can be transformative.

I imagine you might be feeling scared, in pain, and/or in need of help. I feel honored you’re considering sharing your trust, time, and self with me so I can be of help. I operate from a trauma-informed, ethical, humanistic, experiential, intersectional, feminist, queer-affirming, person-centered framework, and have experience with individual, relationship (couple and family), group, crisis, and substance abuse counseling. I’ve enjoyed working with folks from all walks of life, and strive to help create a space where you can hopefully feel safe, understood, and accepted, so that we can both be fully the people we are.

In our work together, I’ll seek to understand your experiences from your own perspective. I honor the worth, dignity, potential, and uniqueness of all people, and will strive to meet you right where you’re at, no matter how messy and imperfect you are. I believe in your inner wisdom, and offer an environment and relationship where you can hopefully become more comfortable with your own self.

I approach my counseling work from a relational perspective, meaning I believe it’s the relationship you and I form that will be a healing force for you. I utilize evidence-based relational practice, so what I embody in our sessions is deeply rooted in scientific research and psychological theory.

I’ve spent most of my life in the Salt Lake area, and have over the years come into my own queer identities and humanistic spirituality. I feel passionate for anything artistic and creative (especially theatre), and am a proud co-parent of two cats.

Megan Perry, CMHC

You’re the expert in your own life and I am honored to support you and be part of your journey. We all grow and heal when we feel safe, understood, validated and comfortable enough to challenge ourselves. I hope to empower you to have the courage to sit with difficult emotions, break patterns of avoidance, consider new ways of thinking and ultimately, be the most authentic version of yourself.

I have experience working with anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, communication skills, boundary setting and more. My original training was primarily in CBT and I have since learned much about and incorporated narrative therapy, DBT, ACT, SFT, and most recently attachment theory and somatic training. I believe there are strategies in all modalities that can be of benefit and I strive to help you find what fits. I work with adults and particularly enjoy working with college students.

I’m originally from New Jersey and have lived in many states, of which Utah has been my favorite, before recently finding my way back to the East Coast in 2023 to be closer to family. At this time, I am only able to do telehealth appointments. I recharge in the outdoors and by traveling. The things I value most are spending time with my husband, family, friends and pets.

Sharri Clonts, LMFT

I began my career as an MFT in Orange County, California in 2008 and have since found my way to Utah. I have had the opportunity to work with a wide population of people and particularly enjoy working with adults, couples, families and college students. I enjoy offering unconditional positive regard to each person , and believe this is the most important trait a therapist can bring to the counseling environment.

I enjoy empowering individuals to identify their values and beliefs that provide a compass through their life transitions. I view each opportunity to join someone on their journey as an honor and a privilege.

I have experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, anger management, ADHD and other mental health issues. I enjoy working with individuals, families and couples. I currently provide counseling in the office in Provo, via telehealth and also provide Mindful Movement sessions that incorporate movement and outdoor somatic experience with therapy.

I enjoy teaching exercise classes, learning, reading, listening to podcasts, spending time with family, traveling and creative home projects.
