Company DescriptionAt Ascend Higher Counseling, we believe therapy should feel like a safe place to be seen, understood, and supported as you move toward healing and deeper connection. Our team specializes in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an approach that helps individuals, couples, and families understand the emotional patterns that keep them stuck and create new ways of relating with more security, trust, and openness.

We know that starting therapy can feel overwhelming, so we meet each client with compassion, curiosity, and respect for their unique story. Whether you’re looking to heal from past wounds, reconnect in your relationship, navigate faith or identity questions, or simply grow into a stronger version of yourself, we walk alongside you every step of the way.

Led by Jeff Scott, LCSW, one of Utah’s several certified EFT supervisors, our team brings both professional expertise and a genuine heart for people. Together, we’ve worked with clients in Utah and beyond—including internationally in places like Kenya and Uganda—because we believe that everyone deserves access to meaningful emotional support.

We offer individual therapy, couples counseling, and intensives for those wanting a deep, focused reset in their relationship. Sessions can be in person at our Utah office or virtually, making it easier to fit therapy into your life.

At the heart of it, Ascend Higher Counseling is about connection: helping you connect with yourself, your loved ones, and the life you want to live.
