Jason Aylsworth(He/Him/His)

Jason Aylsworth is a Licensed Mental Health Clinician located in Newton, MA. Jason specializes in helping clients move past traumatic experiences, increase their ability effectively regulate their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and addictions. Many of his clients suffer from anxiety throughout daily life, trauma, overwhelming sadness and feelings of depression, problems with focus, concentration, perfectionism and procrastination, and difficulty in their relationships. Jason supports clients through these distressing feelings by offering warm, compassionate conversation and a comfortable space to explore the causes and conditions of these issues, feelings, and situations.

Jason’s approach to therapy includes many components of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma therapy, and holisitic psychology. Clients learn how to grow healthier thoughts and thought patterns while relating more effectively to harmful habits by understanding how they originated, how they serve you, how they limit you, and how to work differently with the underlying cause. Informed by his own mindfulness practice, he also brings mindfulness exercises such as meditation and breath-work into sessions with clients to boost self-awareness and promote relaxation. He has extensive experience helping clients change their behavior, whether that’s away from an addictive substance, harmful thought patterns, rigid identification with thoughts or feelings, or toward healthier relationships and thought patterns.

Jason earned his Master’s degree from Lesley University and has a post-graduate certificate from the Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy. His dedication to recognizing and utilizing each client’s unique strengths make sessions with him encouraging and empowering. His personal and professional understanding of the theory and practice of psychotherapy, mindfulness, and Buddhism helps cut through some of the noise surrounding meditation, its benefits, and its risks. He creates a safe, comfortable space for clients of all backgrounds and collaborates with clients on reaching their mental health goals based on their own values.
