Our Practitioners

Picture

Dr. John D. Perovich, Psy.D.

Doctor of Psychology

As a licensed practitioner in Utah since 1997, my journey has been one of continual growth and dedication. It all started with my rigorous studies and a transformative internship at Sewickley Valley Hospital near Pittsburgh, PA. This experience laid the foundation for me to earn my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the esteemed School of Professional Psychology at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio.

My professional journey has been rich and diverse, encompassing a myriad of experiences, from conducting pivotal clinical trials of medication for FDA approval to collaborating closely with local healthcare providers and esteemed institutions like Hill Air Force Base. 
​

My dedication to lifelong learning and my passion for helping others achieve personal growth and fulfillment are the driving forces behind everything I do. I am committed to creating a safe and supportive space in therapy where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and develop strategies to improve their mental wellbeing.
​

If you're considering therapy, I encourage you to take that brave first step towards prioritizing your mental health. Together, we can embark on a journey towards a happier, healthier you.

Billing and Office Staff

Picture

Bridgette O-B

Billing & Credentialing Manager
My name is Bridgette, and I’ve spent more than 18 years working in medical and mental health billing. I’m passionate about helping clinicians manage the financial side of their practice so they can stay focused on what matters most — their patients.

Nothing is more satisfying to me than seeing a claim paid correctly the first time. Every clean submission means fewer denials, fewer appeals, and fewer barriers for patients. Contributing to a smoother, more functional healthcare system is exactly where I want to be.

I also enjoy working directly with patients to help them understand their benefits and the full Revenue Cycle Management process from start to finish. If you have questions about our billing practices, accepted insurances, or your potential out‑of‑pocket costs, you’re welcome to reach out through the contact page.

When I’m not working, I’m usually spending time with the two teenagers who call me “mom” — still surreal. Mental health has shaped my life and the lives of those closest to me, so I make it a priority to attend mental health conferences and stay current on the ever‑changing laws and policies that impact care today.
