Meet Allyson Guilbert
Hi, I'm Allyson
Are you ready to move past the fear and live? Are you feeling stuck, burned out, overwhelmed, worried, sad, confused, broken, or just “not good enough?” Are you sick of the shoulds and supposed tos? Maybe you have not had success with therapy before, are looking to continue work you have already done, or are brand new. With my own lived experiences with OCD, perfectionism, and ADHD, I am uniquely qualified to help with your make change.
I have been in practice for over 2 decades and have presented nationally on OCD, with specialized training in ACT, ERP, and EMDR for anxiety, OCD, and trauma. I also have additional training in treating trichotillomania. You are getting the value of someone who knows what they are doing and is ready and able to help with the most difficult situations.
You’ve walked this road before—therapy isn’t new to you, but you’re searching for deeper, more transformative healing. If you don't know where to turn and want deeper connection and treatment for your complex problems, I am here. You deserve and need an experienced and compassionate therapist who understands deeply what you are going through.
I work with clients who want to move from a place a fear to a life they value. OCD, anxiety, and trauma (wherever it originates) can hold you back in so many ways. We explore the barriers those things create and find ways to deal with them to be able to create the life you want. Most of my clients find more peace, direction, and happiness through the tools they learn with me.
I love ACT! We focus on what you can control and what will bring you closer to life based on what matters to you (YOUR values!). I also use ACT with ERP for OCD. I use EMDR and trauma-informed care along the way, when needed. I am PSI trained for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I belong to the LGBTQ Guild of Utah. We work collaboratively to find the best treatment for you.
I started Vital Life Counseling in 2023 to provide a warm and inviting counseling center focused on values--helping you find what matters most to you--and helping you process through what gets in the way.
