Trauma Focused Therapists in Bountiful, UT

I believe that within each of us lies a powerful, resilient human spirit that has the capacity to thrive - regardless of one's life circumstances. Hope and healing occur as we learn to embrace our unique gifts, develop self-compassion, increase self awareness and implement coping skills into one's daily life. A person flourishes as they learn to approach life in authentic ways while being true to their identity. I am passionate about my work because I believe that we all have the capacity to excel and find joy in the journey of life.

Hello! I'm Dr. David Haralson. If you are looking for exceptional, world-class therapy, look no further. I help clients (and their families) to "reach their oasis" - a place within their nervous system where they feel calm and connected.

My approach is gentle, playful, honest, family-oriented, transparent, and evidenced-based

I completed my Masters in Social Work at the University of Utah in 2000 and my LCSW in 2002. Since that time, I have worked in various clinical settings from school counseling, residential care, foster-care, outpatient clinics and private practice. My therapeutic style evokes the strength and wisdom already inherent within each individual. My role as a therapist is to guide and inspire clients through an empathetic, straight forward approach to learn coping skills and secure a foundation for truly lasting changes.

Ever felt like you needed to be "stronger" or "try harder" to make life better or easier? You're not alone. It's a popular belief that if we were just a little "stronger", a little more "perfect" then life would magically fall into place. But here's the thing – it's not about needing more strength or perfection (which is unattainable!). It's about having the right tools, the right support, and the right help. And that's where I come in – I'm here to provide you with the tools and support you need to live life the way you want to.

People come to counseling for different reasons. Some need assistance to change, changing habits or patterns that no longer serve them, shifting focus or reframing experience to feel good again. Some need to heal, from a past or recent trauma, who are dealing with grief or loss. Counseling can speed up the change and healing process. We all need someone to talk with who listens and can accept us as we are, without judgement, to explore ways to make changes that allow us to look forward to the future with hope.

“The green reed which bends in the wind is stronger than the mighty oak which breaks in a storm.”― Confucius.

I believe that there is no one “right” way or route to take in life. In my work I use a person-centered and strengths-based approach. Together we will create your life worth living- loving connections, playfulness, meaning, and purpose. While this work is going to be hard that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy it along the way. Together we will celebrate victories, no matter how small. We will laugh, grieve, be angry, cry, and smile throughout the process. Healing can feel very lonely but my hope is that I can provide my clients a safe place to go through it all. I promise that it will be worth it.

Therapy is a form of self-preservation. We live in a society where we're constantly pressured to be productive and push through discomfort, but what if you didn't have to? What if you had the ability to slow down and sit with your emotions? We can hold space for the parts of ourselves that want to be seen and validated. We can learn to be still and connected in every moment without avoiding the hardships we've been through. I'd like to help you on your journey to self-preservation.
