Hi, I’m Chandler Reed, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I work with adults facing a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, other mood disorders, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and practical, combining medication management and therapy when helpful. I aim to create a calm, judgment-free space where you feel heard and supported.
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.
I have over 25 years experience working with young men and their families. I love digging in and helping clients find joy in life and increase their resilience.
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.
I am a down-to-earth, supportive, nonjudgmental, and open-minded Board Certified Psychiatric NP. I began my work in psychiatric care as a registered nurse treating patients in various hospital settings who were experiencing a mental health crisis. For a more rewarding 1-on-1 approach, I returned to grad school and earned a Masters, and chose to become certified as a Psychiatric NP. I am honored and fortunate to have the opportunity to manage medications for kids and adults with ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar, Panic, Sleep problems, and other ailments from a place of encouragement and respect and based on an ever growing library of peer reviewed scientific literature and medical treatment guidelines.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Salt Lake City
Finding addiction therapists in Salt Lake City starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, prescription drug misuse, gambling, or other behavioral concerns. Look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match what you want to work on, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or relapse prevention support. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, depending on their needs.
Salt Lake City has a meaningful network of therapists, but the right match depends on more than location. You may want someone with an office near downtown, Sugar House, or the University of Utah, or you may prefer virtual sessions that give you more appointment options across Utah. Recovery can follow different paths, so it helps to look for a therapist who describes a non-judgmental style and experience with harm reduction or addiction recovery. Reading bios can also show how a therapist structures sessions, what concerns they support, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book.
Addiction counseling in Salt Lake City can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you compare therapists who are accepting new patients, review their specialties and availability, and confirm whether they take your plan, so you can browse providers, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy.
