Life is about maintaining balance in all aspects, through love. There is so much out there to learn and grow from, so why not have fun doing it? A little about me: I love going to CrossFit every morning. I am a huge nerd, constantly listening to audibles and/or podcasts such as Huberman Lab and non-fiction books. I enjoy being outdoors: snowboarding, motorcycle/dirt biking, hiking, any movement &traveling. My parents are from Peru, so I visit there often. Tambien hablo español! Therapy can help your understanding of where your emotions come from connecting the past to the present, and decreasing the intensity by making sense of it.

Currently, I am offering tele-health sessions only, with availability M-TH from 9:00am to 2:30pm. I am unable to offer appointments outside of these hours. If that works for you, let me know if you’re interested in booking a session, or if you’d prefer to start with a brief 10-15 minute phone consultation!

Life can be a fulfilling and challenging journey. It is part of the human experience to need support at different times depending on our life stage or situation. Seeking support can be intimidating. I am committed to working collaboratively with clients to foster learning and growth, enabling you to live your best life.

Originally from Ohio, I moved to Utah in 2003 to provide therapeutic outdoor experiences to youth and families. I have spent much of my career working with adolescents and young adults after receiving my Master of Social Work from the University of Utah in 2008. As a LCSW, I think its valuable to utilize resources specific to an individual instead of resources specific to a therapist. With that, I primarily lean on the principles of DBT, ACT, CBT, MI, Seven Challenges, Narrative therapy and EMDR/Trauma informed approaches. I also have experience with substance use and problematic media and technology use. As a psychedelic-assisted therapist, I believe in set and setting as a foundation for growth.

I spend much of my free time outdoors and sleep better under the stars. I love the mountain and desert surroundings that Utah provides and can often be found boating, skiing, hiking, backpacking and traveling the western U.S. I am also a land steward in Cache Valley, raising a menagerie of animals and vegetables. I also enjoy cooking and listening to live music.

It has been a privilege to provide psychotherapy to a variety of clients for over 20 years. I have advanced clinical training in trauma, addictions, sexual abuse, mood and personality disorders, and relationships. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and encouraging. I provide support as you examine core issues and change underlying patterns of behavior or simply gain perspective concerning a recent issue.

I am a graduate of the University of Southern California with a Masters in Clinical Social Work, and received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles. I am also a certified 200 HR yoga instructor and Reiki practitioner. I bring a deeply integrative approach to healing, blending somatic therapies, mindfulness, and energy work with evidence-based interventions. I am also currently completing my PhD in Integral and Transpersonal Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies.

With a foundation in yoga, nervous system regulation, and spiritual practice, my work is rooted in guiding you to return to your own embodied truth through reinforcing resilience and post-traumatic growth.

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 completed my bachelor’s degree at Columbia College in Salt Lake City, Utah and later went on to pursue a Masters in Business Administration and a Masters in Clinical Counseling. I have been working in the counseling field since 2013 and I am licensed in the state of Utah and Washington. I have been working with active military, reservists and their families since 2018. My primary focus is working with the adult population on treatment related to life adjustments/stressors, relationship concerns, trauma, anxiety, grief and loss, and identity exploration.

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.

Life's struggles often point toward opportunities for growth. I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, spiritual questions, and challenges related to identity and meaning. Together, we explore the deeper patterns shaping your experiences while building practical processes for lasting change.

My approach combines evidence-based therapy with a focus on self-discovery, personal growth, and living more authentically. I believe healing involves more than reducing symptoms—it involves developing a fuller relationship with yourself and creating a life aligned with your deepest values and potential.

Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready for a new chapter, therapy can help you move toward greater clarity, resilience, and wholeness.
