Background

About Ashton West Veasey

I received my doctorate in marriage and family therapy from Texas Woman's University and my MS in counseling and mental health from Southern Methodist University. My husband and I are licensed professional counselors, and we are both owners and psychotherapists at Saga Counseling, LLC. As a psychotherapist, I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families on a range of issues, from PTSD, anxiety, depression, gender, sexuality, sexual health, and relational issues. I was drawn to this field because I believe we exist within the context of relationships, but when we lose our balance in life, our relationships with ourselves and others may suffer. When we are born, we are emotional beings who depend on others for love, safety, and protection. As adults, we sometimes forget that we are still emotional beings who need meaningful connections with others. Loneliness can be as detrimental to our health as smoking. I know that I am the best version of myself when I feel connected and in sync with my relationships. But sometimes, we can struggle with interpersonal conflict, sleep, productivity, loneliness, or insecurity in our relationships. These struggles alarm us, warning us that we have lost our balance. You want to connect with others and make meaningful changes, but you may find yourself stuck in a cycle that keeps you feeling disconnected and unsatisfied. We exist within the context of relationships, and you may be ready to change the context of your life and the patterns in your relationships. You don't have to continue struggling. Together, we can explore your behavioral and relational patterns to make the changes you seek. As your therapist, I aim to guide you to your own answers and work with you to navigate life's struggles.
