. I always receive such helpful and effective treatments from Dr. Jon Ahern. He is also very attentive, his course of treatments have been invaluable to me. I feel that I am learning appropriate coping skills and through EMDR, I have been able to release many emotional issues that have been holding me down. I appreciate the compassionate yet professional treatment I receive there. I also appreciate the very friendly and courteous staff.

I had been going through some anxiety in my life to the point where it was becoming disruptive. I was having scary thoughts, overthinking things...even just the little things in life; it was bothersome—I had to see someone. Going to Dr. Ahern was a huge help! He was able to redirect my thinking in a direction that was logical and clear to me. What worked best for me was talk therapy because I needed to vent what I was anxious about; it was Dr. Ahern’s attentiveness, listening skills and knowledge gave me clarity on what I was letting anxiety do to me. I don’t think I can thank him enough. I highly recommend Dr. Ahern.

Dr. Ahern’s therapy techniques have changed my life. Before I started seeing him it was a struggle for me to get to my local grocery store. Now I have the freedom to drive and fly anywhere. Life is worth living again. I’ve seen several therapists in the past but my core issues remained. EMDR for my PTSD has been the answer I’ve been searching for. I highly recommend Dr. Ahern and his amazing staff.

Beautiful experiences at this location! The ambience is conducive to positive transformation; I couldn't recommend Dr. Ahern or his facility enough!

All of the previous reviews are about Dr Ahern. I was originally sent to see him but was told that he wasn't taking on new patients. Instead, David would be assisting me in fixing my mental health problems. I've been working with David Christensen since July, and I'm honestly pleased with what we've accomplished. He's soothing, compassionate, and good spirited, on top of being a professional that is adaptable to your situation. I also want to take a moment to also recognize the ladies at the front desk. They're always pleasant, both over the phone and in person. When you're in front of them, they make you feel like you're the most important person in the room. My only complaint is that the place is a little difficult to find on your first go, but I don't see why that should take away from the staff themselves. Overall, I don't think I could trust anyone more than I do with the good people at South Davis Psych. I recommended them highly to anyone needing assistance getting their life together like I did.

I've been going to Dr. Ahern for a few years. Since going to him I have grown in many ways. He never gives me homework, which I appreciate, but because of his knowledge and skills I practice what he suggests on my own. Dr. Ahern is very skilled in his practice yet makes you feel like a friend. He knows just how to clarify and ask questions so I can understand myself better and help myself progress. I always feel comfortable with Dr. Ahern as he is very professional. I have become much more mindful and worry less since working with him.

Dr. Ahern and I are former colleagues and I'm always happy to refer clients to him when my own practice is full. I know that he will provide great therapy and truly care about his clients.

I can't speak highly enough of David Christensen or of how grateful we are for his time and expertise. We were referred to him for post-concussion syndrome. He immediately put us at ease and established a strong rapport. He honed in on exactly what therapy was needed and over the course of treatment empowered our family with the tools we needed to move forward. He was sincere and compassionate with a great sense of humor and the utmost professionalism. He truly has a gift for helping others.

I'm sure David Christensen is a great therapist. I'm sure for others. Wasn't the case for my family. David has caused more pain and has kinda turned our lives upside down. First of all, I personally did not understand his therapy goals, nor did I feel he truly listened to why I was seeking therapy for my daughter and I. Ive struggled with anxiety for years so I wanted guidance with that. I was hoping for guidance and tools for my daughter. Well, the first session I had with David, he believed I was going through a Mania Episode. He said I was, "text book Bipolar." He insisted, I should go to the Access Center to have a psychiatrist diagnose me, start on some medication. I was open to listening his reasoning and so I saw three psychiatrists, three different times, all coming back saying anxiety, not Bipolar. (Which I've always known). After around 5 months I stopped therapy IMMEDIATELY with David because he called DCFS without telling us! He called over a small argument between my husband and I. We don't usually argue. I talked to David about it. Well, we got a" wellness check". We then had cops come because of fabricated statements used that was written by David, 24 hours after our session was done. (Note: he doesn't write anything down in session). Few weeks after stopping therapy with David, I searched for a new therapist and learned im still going through Postpartum Depression after my son, and that this is not, "Psychosis Bipolar". I feel like; If David was more educated with people, not text books, he would have not had to cause so much emotional and financial damage. We've now had to hire a Lawyer, hoping this can all be dismissed. In the state of Utah, when cops are involved, someone will be placed under arrest. This bicker was 3 weeks by this time. DCFS will never allow us to adopt, which was my plan in the next couple of years, because I am no longer able to have kids. Just a terrible experience. Awful!! And there is absolutely nothing that can fixed or done. So much emotional damage not just for me, but my 5 year old (which he saw her too) my husband and my son. I would suggest if anyone is feeling uncertain, about your therapist get out immediately!! You are giving your thoughts and secrets to a stranger and you don't know how he will interpret them. He's cost my family more heartache, money issues then one should EVER!! *David has still not reached out to apologize or help us understand where his mind was coming from. Only Jon, asking about this Google review*

David is very kind and caring. He really listens to what you say and helps you work through your issues. Highly recommend him.
