David Head

David Head

Therapist

Virtual • Salt Lake City, UT


I’m David Head, LPC—an existential psychotherapist with more than a decade helping people work through anxiety, depression, trauma, LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship and interpersonal struggles, motivation blocks, compulsivity, and the deeper exhaustion that comes from feeling disconnected from your own life.

I hold a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University and am a doctoral candidate in Counselor Education at Sam Houston State University, where my research focuses on identity, emotional dissonance, and the inner experience of helping professionals. My path has taken me through community mental health, residential treatment with children and families, school-based programs, and extensive telehealth work. I’ve seen how personal pain often intersects with bigger systems—work, family, culture—and I bring that grounded perspective without ever losing sight of you as the author of your story.

What matters most to me: You already have the capacity to choose, to take responsibility for your thoughts/feelings/behaviors, and to build a life that feels more aligned. My job isn’t to fix you. It’s to walk alongside you with curiosity, straight talk, and respect for your autonomy so you can develop the self-awareness, confidence, and tools to navigate whatever comes next—on your terms

Bella Bohn

Bella Bohn

Therapist

Virtual • Draper, UT


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over five years of experience in the mental health field. I began my career working directly with adolescent girls in a residential setting. This experience shaped my passion for creating safe and supportive spaces where people feel seen, understood, and valued. I later earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Kentucky and have worked across inpatient, residential, and outpatient settings with both adolescents and adults.

Throughout my career, I have supported clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, substance use, and other behavioral health challenges. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and person-centered, drawing from evidence-based approaches such as CBT and DBT while also incorporating attachment theory, somatic-informed interventions, and other approaches tailored to each individual.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I strive to create a space where you can be honest, feel safe enough to explore difficult experiences, and also feel empowered to make meaningful changes. My goal is to meet you where you are while helping you better understand yourself, build lasting tools for coping and connection, and move toward the life you want to create.

Hi I'm Blair, a licensed clinical social worker with experience in behavioral health, residential, and community-based settings. My work is rooted in a relational, intuitive approach, with a strong focus on the connection between mind and body. I care a lot about helping people reconnect, with themselves, their bodies, and the world around them. Outside of therapy, I’m deeply drawn to nature and have led outdoor programs for adolescents around the world, which continues to shape how I show up in this work. Because of this background, I am offering walk and talk sessions in addition to virtual. I aim to be authentic, present, and genuinely curious with the people I work with.

Maybe you have sensed something was different but never had the words for it. Maybe you have been carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, or other struggles that have made everyday life feel harder than it should. Or maybe you have wondered whether ADHD or Autism is part of your story. As a PhD, I conduct formal assessments for ADHD, Autism, and more. I also provide ongoing therapy so you leave with real tools for a more joyful life.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) providing compassionate, evidence-based care to adolescents and adults. My approach blends clinical expertise with a collaborative, patient-centered philosophy, I believe treatment works best when you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your care.

I earned my graduate degree in psychiatric-mental health nursing from Northern Kentucky University and have experience treating a wide range of conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, mood disorders, and medication management for complex psychiatric presentations. My background includes working with individuals navigating life transitions, high-achieving professionals experiencing burnout, and patients seeking thoughtful, personalized medication management.

I specialize in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management, with a focus on clarity, safety, and long-term stability. I aim to avoid overmedication while ensuring symptoms are effectively treated. When appropriate, I integrate supportive therapy techniques into sessions to help patients build insight, resilience, and practical coping strategies.

My practice is fully telehealth-based, allowing for convenient, private access to care. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable discussing what’s really going on — without judgment — and to work together toward meaningful, sustainable improvement in your mental health.

I approach therapy as a collaborator. My method is client-centered and humanistic. I aim to accompany my clients in achieving the goals brought into the therapeutic environment with openness, empathy, and compassion. Creating goals in small steps is vital for progress and change. Identifying insecure attachment and dysfunctional patterns will lead to lasting change. My clients can learn to recognize unhealthy cycles and gain a deeper understanding of their attachment styles.

Currently, I do not provide therapy for couples or minors.
