Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Bountiful, UT

I’m Chris.

I enjoy helping others with the challenges of daily living. I am interested in what motivates people and helping them modify behavior patterns. People aren't broken, they are doing perfectly that which they would like to do differently. I enjoy helping people grow and change, moving to the next level they desire. I have degrees in psychology and mental health counseling. I have been helping people find relieve from fear, pain, and discomfort for more than 20 years.

My name is Spencer Allan, MSN, APRN, PMHNP, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience working in mental health care. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing a wide range of mental health concerns across various levels of care, giving me a strong foundation in understanding the complexities of psychiatric illness and recovery.

I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing challenges such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, psychotic disorders, and other mental health concerns. I also have a strong interest in functional health and the relationship between mental health, sleep, hormones, physical health, nutrition, and overall wellness.

I believe mental health treatment should focus on the whole person, not just a diagnosis. My goal is to help clients better understand what is contributing to their symptoms while developing a treatment plan that supports both symptom improvement and long-term well-being.

As a social worker with seven years of experience in the field, I strive to work from an open, curious, and empowering approach in therapy. I've worked with a number of clients who struggle with various issues including anxiety, depression, and Bipolar Disorder among other things. I recognize the lasting effects trauma can have on a person and specialize in treating it, specifically using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

I have been providing treatment for over 25 years. I'm very skilled and have focused on addiction treatment, depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health illnesses. I am very curious about your situation and would love to assist you.

I am at my best when I am a guide for others. I start by listening and developing understanding of who you are, what you value, and where you struggle. I will help you to find your way back to yourself and develop the trust you need in yourself to live your best life. I use an approach that is very collaborative offering tools and resources, but assisting you to choose your own direction.

We all struggle at times, especially in the way we live these days. I can help you understand how and why you may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected and develop strategies to move through this to a happier, more grounded, and more confident version of yourself.

I’m a trauma‐informed therapist who believes healing doesn’t require perfection—just honesty, compassion, and a willingness to take the next small step. Most of the people I work with are balancing careers, relationships, parenting, and the invisible emotional load that comes with everyday life. They’re strong, capable, and exhausted from carrying more than anyone realizes.

Clients often tell me they appreciate that I’m real, relatable, and not the kind of therapist who just nods silently. I show up fully. I help you connect the dots. And I hold space for the parts of you that have been working so hard for so long.

If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the realities of everyday life and offers nonjudgemental compassionate support, I’d be honored to work with you.

I want to make sure we address the needs you want help resolving. I will never force you to do something and will work with you and your goals. Our work is done based on research-proven methods to alleviate your mental health needs.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. As a counselor, I have worked in public schools, adult and youth residential facilities, online counseling, wilderness programs, private practice, and mental health facilities. My areas of expertise include sexual abuse, domestic violence, substance abuse, parenting, and leadership. I have presented at many local, state, and national professional conferences and have taught many masters’ level mental health courses for the past 20+ years. Currently, I am the Assistant Program Director and Associate Professor of Counseling at Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions. Prior to my work in counseling and academia, I served a tour of duty in Germany as an officer in the US Army and then back in America as a bank branch manager. I graduated from Brigham Young University with degrees in Corporate Communications (BA) and Educational Psychology (M.Ed.) and at the University of the Cumberlands (Ph.D.) in Counselor Education and Supervision.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience. I believe in a supportive, welcoming approach, that can be gently direct when needed. I like working with those in relationship distress, especially from an angle of men's empowerment. I am comfortable in working with trauma and sexual behaviors. I am certified to do EMDR and enjoy doing this practice with clients.

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.
