Refer or Find a Mental Health Professional
Here, you can share your favorite therapist or any professional you’ve found helpful. Or, you can learn about professions that others have used with success.
It usually takes a crisis before we are willing to reach out for help. When we find ourselves willing, the thought of sharing such painful moments with a complete stranger can often keep us from reaching out. If you’re looking for your child who is in crises, the pressure can be even greater. A proven mental health professional is the best place to start.
Reviews are commonplace today. However, it’s hard to know which are real and which are paid for. We go to great lengths to ensure our referred professionals are ONLY community referred. We never take donations to place a referral here.
We have organized referrals by Utah County. You’ll find many pages of referrals on our site. For more general or crises resources, visit Resources. For detailed concussion references, click here.

I have been with psychiatrists through the University of Utah since I was released from UNI in 2014. Braun is seriously one of a kind. We have thorough discussions about my medications, mental health and anything I need to talk about. I still see my therapist on a regular basis also. I am able to get an appointment easily. He has helped me understand how medications work and what might be beneficial or not. The first thing he told me was that his practice is client driven and he was there for me

My husband and I have been seeing Shayden since our son passed from suicide.
He has helped us work through some tough things as we navigated the grief journey in our different ways.
His does such a great job teaching classes to parents as well as individuals about the cycle of shame and anxiety.
My son Landon, who found his brother after he took his life, began struggling with thoughts of suicide and turning to drugs to cope. He finally agreed to start therapy with Shayden and we have seen a huge change in him. He is opening up and talking about his feelings and even being able to talk about his brother. He is more motivated in his life.

Rick Visser
Action recovery
1708 E 5550 S #23
Ogden, UT 84403
801-475-HOPE
"Rick Visser was my drug and alcohol counselor when I was in his intensive outpatient program at Action Recovery...Rick knows a lot about traumatic brain injuries (TBI) early on in my treatment he observed me in group and one day he pointed it out in group that the fact that I had suffered a brain injury (being knocked unconscious) a few years prior it has caused me to think with a "limp" meaning that I process information differently now than I used to, especially when it comes to processing emotions.
When I got emotional or things really mattered to me, I did not know exactly how to express it or articulate my feelings and It leads to so much frustration, and because of the TBI, I have an extremely low tolerance for frustration and so everything feels too hard to explain and deal with so I just shut down...
He wasn't saying I was broken just that my thinking was now handicapped in such a way that I had to learn how to cope with this newly discovered limitation...he taught me how to look at things differently and most importantly how to learn how to be more patient with myself and give myself a break while I learned how to think through my thoughts and emotions a little slower.
My group had a lot more patience with me once they understood this about me too and I felt very loved and supported and they were patient with me. It is neat to be able to explain it to people now and to be able to put it into words because I didn't know how to before.
Rick is a recovering addict himself with over 30 years of sobriety and has dedicated his life to helping other addicts and alcoholics get clean and sober. He treats each individual differently according to their needs and allows each person to stay in treatment as long as they need to as long as they are progressing. He takes no credit for helping anyone. Countless people thank him for helping them save their lives and his response is always the same..."God is good!"
