Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Bountiful, UT

I am passionate about people and I love being a therapist. I get excited about getting to know new clients, learning their story, unpacking it in order to gain insight into why things have become the way they are and then using this insight to then foster healing, growth, and change. Change occurs once new ways of being are identified and barriers are removed in order to try on new ways of being.

I am passionate about helping clients find their voice to put words to their unique experiences. I approach each session with compassionate curiosity to provide you with a safe space to show up as your most authentic self. I hope that you feel seen, heard, understood, and accepted. I am enthusiastic about seeing my clients move towards health and healing. I consider it an honor and a privilege to support you throughout our work together.

Many people struggle with feeling different, strange, or like others do not relate to them well. Many people feel like they have to hide who they are and have no place to be themselves. This goes for the person with depression who needs to reshape their relationships; the person with PTSD facing their painful past; and the gay person grappling with the consequences of coming out or not.

I strive to be warm, approachable, easy to talk to, and an excellent listener. I am not here to judge you. I am a mother of three children who are all grown up and I’ve experienced more than my fair share of life challenges. I don’t recommend any treatments or practices that I myself have not used.

Hello, I’m Dr. Scott DeBerard, a licensed clinical psychologist (Ph.D.) in the State of Utah with over 30 years of experience. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, health challenges, and major life transitions. My approach emphasizes authenticity, compassion, and respect for each person’s unique life circumstances.

I find value in a person-centered, insight-oriented approach. I also take a somewhat eclectic approach in which modalities I use so to best adapt to your needs and preferences. I primarily work with adults of all identities. I work to create an inclusive and justice oriented practice.

I received my bachelor's in psychology from Utah State University and went on to get my Master of Social Work from the University of Utah. I specialize in treating OCD and Anxiety Disorders. I have worked in various locations including an intensive outpatient (IOP), middle school and private practice. I also have experience working with the aging population and the forensic population working toward competency restoration.

Are you a veteran feeling weighed down by anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship stress, or the emotional load of motherhood? I work with veterans facing PTSD, maternal mental health challenges, and relationship struggles, and I also support people navigating recovery. My approach is warm, honest, and centered on helping you feel seen, supported, and understood.
