I’m Gabriel Heaton, a psychiatric nurse practitioner and men’s mental health specialist based in Utah. I started Steadfast Psychiatry to fill a gap I saw in the field: men struggling in silence, getting one-size-fits-all care that missed the deeper stuff—purpose, relationships, and faith. Here, you’ll get care that’s direct, respectful, and rooted in clinical expertise. I integrate medication support, therapeutic coaching, and a values-based approach that treats the whole man—mind, body, and spirit.
“Most men don’t need fixing—they need purpose, connection, and an actionable plan forward.”

Hi, I’m Gabriel Heaton, PMHNP-BC
At Valiant we offer integrative psychiatry for people who have optimized everything else but still feel off. We utilize precise medication management paired with deeper work that restores clarity, energy, and emotional stability.
- Works alongside your hormone or wellness plan
- Intentional meds that support, not suppress
- Practical mind body strategies for long term resilience
- Clear plan in week one with measurable progress
Whole person care. Deeper healing. A steady path toward long term wellbeing.

Trauma reshapes the nervous system. We help you restore regulation, improve sleep and rhythm, and rebuild a sense of safety from the inside out. Medication is used intentionally and paired with evidence-based tools that support lasting recovery.
Depression signals that the system is overloaded. We look at contributors like sleep, hormones, movement, nutrition, and stress. When medication is part of the plan, we use it purposefully while we work to restore clarity, energy, and meaning.
Attention strengthens when the whole system works together. We support you with structure, sleep, protein, movement, and coaching. Medications are used deliberately to improve focus and functioning with a clean, effective approach.
Compulsive behaviors often develop as ways to manage pain. We stabilize the nervous system, build real-life skills, strengthen accountability, and support identity change. Medications that reduce cravings or withdrawal are used thoughtfully as part of a comprehensive plan for freedom.
Sleep improves when the body and mind are aligned. We address rhythm, stress, hormones, and habits, and retrain the system to settle at night. Medications or supplements are chosen carefully and purposefully when they support restorative, reliable sleep.
Anxiety reflects a system that has learned to stay tense. We explore the underlying patterns with curiosity, rebuild regulation, and help the mind settle. Medications are used purposefully when they strengthen calm, confidence, and forward movement.
We go beyond symptom management. Our approach combines advanced psychiatric care with precision medication, nutritional insights, and personalized supplementation to uncover root causes and restore balance — in mind, body, and spirit.

Your mental health is deeply connected to your physical wellbeing. We take a whole-person approach that considers sleep, exercise, nutrition, and daily rhythms — helping you strengthen both body and mind. Our care is personalized, evidence-based, and clinically informed, designed to restore energy, and support long-term mental health/cognition.

He really listens, allowing space for you to speak and develop your thoughts. He offers practical support that actually fits into real life, not just textbook advice or writing a script and sending you on your way.If you're dealing with stress, anxiety, feeling stuck and overwhelmed, Dr Heaton is the person to talk to. He truly gets mental health, and working with him has been a game-changer.”
We help adults facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, burnout, and trouble sleeping. Longer visits, personalized care, and support that goes beyond medication—so you can find balance and lasting relief.
Yes, we are currently accepting new clients at Valiant Psychiatry. If you're ready to get started, you can request an appointment through our website. We'll guide you through the simple onboarding process and match you with care that aligns with your values and goals.
Absolutely. We offer psychiatric care that honors your personal values, including faith-informed treatment for those seeking support aligned with Christian/LDS principles. Your spiritual identity matters here—and we’re committed to care that respects both your mind and your faith.
Your first visit includes a comprehensive assessment, open discussion of your concerns, medication review (if applicable), and a personalized care plan. Together, we’ll explore your goals and begin creating a path forward—one that aligns with your values, your faith, and your vision for healing.
We currently only accept a limited number of insurances but we can provide a detailed receipt, called a “superbill” which can be submitted to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Please consult with your insurance company for any questions prior to your visit.
Because mental health care is most effective when it speaks to your deepest values. For Christians, those values are rooted in faith, family, and eternal purpose. At Valiant, we don’t treat those as side notes—we place them at the center of your healing, where they belong.
Not yet—but hopefully soon. Right now, all appointments are offered via secure telehealth. We’re actively exploring options for in-person care and hope to make it available in the near future. In the meantime, you can receive high-quality, faith-informed psychiatric support from the comfort of your home.
I see teens and adults, typically ages 14 and up. For teens under 18, parental involvement is required as part of the treatment process. We believe healing happens best when families are informed, supportive, and involved.
Telehealth is the only way we serve clients at Valiant Psychiatry. Our entire practice is designed for flexible, secure, and accessible online care. You can meet with your provider from the comfort of your home, office, or anywhere private—no commuting, no waiting rooms.
As long as you're located in Utah, you’ll receive the same high-quality, personalized care you'd expect from an in-person clinic—just more convenient.
A PMHNP is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner—a licensed and board-certified medical provider who specializes in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. PMHNPs can prescribe medications, provide psychotherapy, and create personalized treatment plans for conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and more.
At Valiant Psychiatry, you’ll receive expert care from a PMHNP who integrates clinical skill with holistic guidance, treating the whole person: mind, body, and spirit.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-informed, “parts-aware” therapy that treats your mind like a team—worrier, inner critic, numb-out part—led by a calm, compassionate core Self. In session we slow down, notice which part is driving, and relate to it instead of fighting it. Protective parts soften, hurt parts heal, and symptoms lose their jobs. It isn’t hypnosis, and you don’t have to re-tell trauma in detail. IFS pairs well with practical care—sleep, nutrition, skills—and, when useful, simple medications used for a season with a taper plan. Many people feel more clarity and choice within a few sessions, with deeper change building over time.
After a thorough evaluation, if we determine tapering is appropriate we taper slowly and safely, making smaller cuts as doses get low (“hyperbolic” taper). A typical rhythm is 10–25% every 2–4 weeks, then slower if needed. We watch for discontinuation symptoms (dizziness, “brain zaps,” flu-ish, vivid dreams) versus true relapse (return of core depression/anxiety) and adjust—hold, slow, or step back—so you stay functional. Tools can include liquid or compounded doses, bead-counting for certain capsules, or a brief cross-taper only when switching is clearly indicated. Alongside, we support sleep, nutrition, movement, and IFS skills so protective parts feel safe letting meds go. Goal: fewer meds, steady mood, no heroics—just a clear, patient plan.
Yes. Valiant Psychiatry provides evidence-based, values-respectful care to all people, without discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity), age, disability, or ancestry.
