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

Tonya Boyd

Tonya Boyd

Therapist

Virtual • Utah


I am deeply committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health counseling and creating a safe, inclusive space for healing. With a diverse family background and as a proud LGBTQ+ ally and Pagan-friendly therapist, I bring empathy, cultural awareness, and advocacy to my work.

I am an active supporter of social justice, equality, and the Black Lives Matter movement, believing true healing happens when people feel seen, heard, and valued. Outside of therapy, I recharge in nature, camping, enjoying the beach or lake, and traveling. I cherish time with family and friends.

I believe that “Without butterflies, there would be no change”—transformation starts in vulnerability and unfolds into something beautiful. If you're ready to break free, heal, and grow, let's work together to build the life you desire.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA Therapist in Salt Lake City, UT

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Salt Lake City starts with looking for identity-affirming care. An affirming therapist may support people navigating identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists who list experience with LGBTQIA+ clients, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse care, or World Professional Association for Transgender Health training. The right fit goes beyond general experience — a therapist’s listed specialties and approach should match what you want support with.

Salt Lake City has a range of mental health therapists, but LGBTQIA+-affirming options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your choices, especially if you want a therapist with specific experience or prefer more scheduling flexibility. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that work for you, provides a free phone consultation, or shares identity and background details that matter to you. Reading bios can help you see how each therapist describes their communication style, populations served, and approach to care before you book.

Therapy in Salt Lake City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Salt Lake City who are accepting new clients, compare bios, check appointment availability, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can review therapists who match your needs, accept your plan, and offer in-person or virtual appointments when you’re ready.
