Mara Aguayo, MSW

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.

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.

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.

Brianna Nuttall, LCSW, PMH-C, ADHD-CCSP

I strive to provide everyone with a validating space as they gain the needed skills to empower themselves. I deeply honor the bravery it takes to reach out for help, and I am willing to assist you with any struggle, regardless of how large or small it seems. I take an interpersonal, strength-based approach to therapy and believe strongly in the power of vulnerability and its ability to increase connection to self and others.

I possess a strong passion for perinatal mental health. Not only do I have lived experience as a mother, but I also am a certified perinatal/postpartum mental health provider through Postpartum Support International. I greatly enjoy meeting with individuals on any step of their parenting journey, from infertility and pregnancy loss, to postpartum and parenting concerns. Additionally, I am a certified ADHD clinical services provider and work with individuals to overcome their executive function challenges with compassion and evidenced-based strategies. I also have experience with a variety of other topics such as helping individuals heal their relationships with their bodies and food, finding peace following grief and loss, empowerment of self through trauma informed work, overcoming unhealthy interpersonal relationships, and learning to better manage anxiety and mood disorders.

I grew up in Idaho, and as part of my undergraduate studies, earned a Minor of Music. I believe in the therapeutic benefit of animals and value spending time with my cat and dog. In my spare time, I love to write, do yoga, strength train, and explore outdoors with my husband and two boys.

Annie Mason, CMHC

Hello! My name is Annie. I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over two decades of experience in the field, having been actively involved since 2002. I am passionate about supporting individuals through life’s challenges, helping them navigate difficult times and ultimately find joy and fulfillment. Whether working with children or adults my goal is to create a compassionate and empowering environment for those I work with. I believe in the power of connection and personal growth and I’m committed to walking alongside my clients as they explore their strengths and potential.

Therapeutic Approach & Focus

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma and stress. My approach is grounded in humanistic and holistic principles, emphasizing the whole person and their unique life experiences. I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities to tailor treatment to the needs of each client, including:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helping clients challenge and change negative thought patterns and behaviors to foster healthier mindsets.
Narrative Therapy: Empowering individuals to rewrite their stories and reclaim their sense of agency in life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Enhancing emotional regulation, mindfulness and interpersonal skills to manage distress and build resilience.
Internal Family Systems (IFS): Working with the different “parts” of the self to promote inner harmony and healing.

Additionally, I am a Certified Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapist, integrating ketamine-assisted therapy to support deep healing for those facing complex trauma, depression, or other treatment-resistant conditions.

I am a trauma-informed therapist. I create a safe, inclusive space for individuals of all backgrounds, including being affirming and supportive of the LGBTQIA+ community. My goal is to help you not only address immediate challenges but also discover deeper sources of strength, resilience and well-being.

Let’s work together to explore and heal the parts of your life that need attention, while creating a foundation for lasting positive change
