Ian Masson

It's great to meet you! I am a licensed professional counselor who has practiced since 2013 and believe that addressing mental health is an important part of having a happy and flourishing life. I have worked with a wide variety of ages and concerns during that time and am excited for the opportunity to work with you as well. Given my background, much of my work has been with clients who are interested in an integrative approach between therapy and their faith or spirituality.

In my previous work I have come to see relationship as a key factor in helping clients to flourish. In all my approaches, I seek to cultivate an attitude of curiosity and acceptance of both internal experiences and experiences with others, which can allow healing to occur. This means I often use interventions from Internal Family Systems so that individuals can develop compassion and reduce the intensity of unwanted emotions and thoughts.

In sessions, I will take time to listen to your story, connect with you about the concerns and problems in your life, and help you to adopt a stance of curiosity and compassion towards your internal experiences. I see our time together as an opportunity for you to grow in self awareness and experience healing. I welcome the opportunity to connect with you!
