In Episode 37 of “The Belonging Place” Kylee sits down to talk with her friend & therapist Jason Clawson about grief, life, change, and the importance of connection.
ABOUT OUR GUEST: JASON CLAWSON
Jason M. Clawson, MA, CMHC
Therapist • Grief Advocate • Co-Creator of the Hope Kit & Light After Grief
Jason M. Clawson is a Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over 18 years of experience specializing in grief, trauma, addiction, and emotional healing. His professional journey became profoundly personal after losing his wife to cancer. In the midst of that heartbreak, a doctor told him, “Cancer has a way of enhancing your life.” Those words became a guiding light in Jason’s own healing—and now inspire his mission to help others discover hope in their darkest seasons.
Alongside his wife, who also lost her spouse to cancer, Jason co-created Light After Grief, an Instagram community of more than 100,000 people. Together they share hope, faith, tools, and raw vulnerability, grounded in the simple but soul-shifting truth: “Vulnerability invites vulnerability.”
Jason is also the co-creator of the Hope Kit, a therapeutic care package delivered to grieving individuals across all 50 states and three countries. In addition, he founded Pretherapy, a playful, healing program that makes preparing for therapy less intimidating and a whole lot more human.
Today, Jason leads his private practice, Havenstone Counseling in Utah County, where he helps individuals and families navigate grief, trauma, and emotional growth with compassion, humor, and deep clinical expertise.
