Ascent Family Therapy

We had a fantastic experience with Counseling. We received useful strategies that drastically improved the anxiety we were dealing with and felt genuine concern and investment from our therapist. We highly recommend their services.

Daniel Burgess, his insight, study and research, intelligence, patience, ability to read between the lines, and the safety he creates in the therapy room to explore those dark places of your life with courage, are only some of what makes him and the work he completes with his clients so deeply meaningful and impactful. If you want to be heard, if you desire and are willing to take a chance on yourself to make positive changes in your life, your relationships, your approach to those challenges you are experiencing, Daniel and those he works with at Ascent Family Therapy is where you will find the strength to do so. Daniel is a remarkable therapist with a deep heart and a desire to continue learning how best to help people who come into his office. I am grateful for the time I have had to work with him and consider myself a more fulfilled person for it.

Ascent Therapy, Daniel is an EXCELLENT therapist. He is able to find practical solutions. That’s a gift. His advice helps get to the heart of problems and helps the couple learn how to fix things long-term. It’s remarkable work. Recommend to anyone.

Ascent Family Therapy, I just wanted to say thank you for what you have done for myself, my husband, our marriage, and our family. You were a shining light and a beacon of hope during a very dark time for us. You provided us a safe place and wise counsel that allowed us to communicate freely and work through/solve issues that I highly doubt would have been possible without you. We have once again found the love, “spark”, joy and fun in our marriage. You have given us so many new tools and resources that I know will be of great value and use for years to come. Thank you for helping to get us back, I am forever grateful.

Ascent Family Therapy was there for me. It was a dark day in my life when I finally admitted I couldn’t do it alone and that I needed help. I am very fortunate that I came across Daniel in my search for a therapist. He immediately responded to my inquiry, and he hasn’t stopped caring since. As I started meeting with Daniel, it didn’t take long for him to gain my complete trust. He seemed to quickly understand me as a person as well as what I was going through. I always felt safe with Daniel, which made it easy to talk about very personal things that I typically don’t share with others. He also helped me think outside of the box I was stuck in. And, because of the trust I had in him, he was able to stretch me to try new things, which helped to create the changes I needed in my life. Daniel has been there for me every step of the way, and I’m sending him anyone I come across who needs a therapist, as well as some who don’t.. I think everyone would benefit from working with Daniel.

Daniel is an incredible and insightful therapist that I would recommend to anyone. He is extremely knowledgeable and approachable. He has opened up my eyes to new ways of thinking about myself and my relationships with other people, which has helped me in my day-to-day personal life and in my marriage.

I took a bit of time looking for the right place for my girlfriend and I to get some professional help. I had never been to therapy before, so I was certainly picky in terms of who was acceptable/comfortable. I chose Daniel Burgess at the Nugent Family Counseling Center, went in to chat with him, and he turned out to be the right choice. Now while I've never been to therapy prior to Daniel, I DO know some therapists, and some of those definitely should NOT be therapists. In Daniel's case, not only is he extremely intelligent but experienced in both life and his profession. In terms of relationship dynamics, he has very advanced knowledge that I was almost surprised with. Through a month's worth of time, he was able to bring us both to a few realizations. I would highly recommend Ascent Family Therapy.

At Ascent Family Therapy, I’ve never been more comfortable and confident with a therapist than with Daniel. From our first meeting I felt an immediate connection to healing. After seeing Daniel regularly, I was able to taper off and manage my needs on my own. But anytime I need help or guidance talking through my problems, Daniel was IT. I have always left a meeting with him feeling like I could conquer anything. He taught me so much, provided me with the proper tools and allowed me a space to work through anything. I am forever grateful for Daniel and what he has done for my life. He will always be my go-to; even as I am out of state. The quality of the conversation and the healing I was able to do during my time working with Daniel is immeasurable and an absolute gift from God. Thank you for being such a blessing to me and my family.

Daniel Burgess (of Ascent Family Therapy) spoke at a retreat I hosted in Salt Lake City for “mothers of teenage boys” this past Spring. His presentation was absolutely the highlight of the weekend. The information he shared, and the way in which he shared it, was transformative for many of the participants. Thank you, Daniel!

I've had nothing but positive interactions with Ascent Family Therapy. The help I've received has been invaluable.

Professional and compassionate, 5 stars from me!
