About Bryce
He listens first. Prescribes second.
Bryce Gosney, PMHNP-BC is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Good Day Psychiatry in Ogden, Utah, providing evidence-based medication management for children, adolescents, and adults. He brings particular clinical depth to depression across all age groups, pediatric anxiety, selective mutism, and trauma — conditions he has treated extensively across both outpatient and emergency settings throughout his career.
His approach to psychiatric care is grounded in the belief that medication, when indicated, functions best as a temporary bridge to stability rather than a long-term solution, and that success is measured not by the length of the therapeutic relationship but by the patient's ability to thrive without one.
Bryce coordinates directly with the therapy and psychological testing team at Good Day Mental Health, and his practice offers the Elite Dual Intake — the only service of its kind in Northern Utah — in which a patient's psychiatric provider and therapist meet together at the very first appointment to build a unified treatment plan.
He prescribes thoughtfully, explains every medication before writing it, and aligns every clinical decision with peer-reviewed guidelines. Bryce is currently accepting new patients for in-person appointments in Ogden and telehealth throughout Utah, with most major insurance plans accepted including Tricare West.
Beyond the clinic
Get to know Bryce
Psychiatry is deeply personal.
Meet the person behind the practice.
Bryce did not arrive at psychiatry by a straight road, and he is the first to admit it. After 9/11, he joined the U.S. Marine Corps to serve his country during a time of war. Nine years of service — including combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan — taught him what it actually means to lead, perform under pressure, and care for the people beside you. He then graduated from college and went on to work as a trauma nurse in an emergency department, then as a ground paramedic, and eventually as a flight paramedic.
What those years in uniform and in the field taught him was something no textbook could: by the time most people arrive at an emergency room, the window for meaningful intervention has already closed. That realization redirected his career entirely — away from treating emergencies after the fact, and toward psychiatric care that helps people build the mental and emotional foundation to prevent them.
He is building Good Day Psychiatry alongside his wife, Dr. Clarissa Gosney, PsyD, who leads Good Day Mental Health — together building a fully integrated psychiatry and psychology practice dedicated to restoring wellness, not just managing symptoms. Outside the clinic, he is a devoted husband and a proud, very busy father of four.
What Bryce says about the conditions he treats
CLINICAL PERSPECTIVES
"Sleep is the fundamental ingredient to health and mental health. When your brain doesn't have sleep, it starts to down-regulate its least essential functions — and the least essential function is also the most advanced: your frontal cortex. When it's down-regulated, we lose emotional depth, awareness, and wisdom. We become emotionally reactive."
On Sleep
Bryce Gosney, PMHNP-BC · Good Day Mental Health
"Anxiety is often a message that your brain is trying to tell you to do something different. If we can reframe that anxiety as a service your brain is giving you to signal that a change needs to happen, medications can be a temporary tool — but the real cure comes from understanding and eliminating the root cause."
On Anxiety
Bryce Gosney, PMHNP-BC · See our Anxiety page
"Trauma becomes PTSD when these reactions affect your family, your sleep, or your ability to feel happiness and joy. Flashbacks are the brain saying 'remember this, watch out.' Avoidance is the brain saying 'stay away from situations like that.' These are protective mechanisms of a healthy brain."
On PTSD

"The medications are there just to make the journey more tolerable. ERP therapy works much better in the presence of medication — medication works to reduce the perception of anxiety and give the patient more time to have their ideal response to an obsession."

I focus on promoting their overall emotional well-being, helping them build resilience and healthy coping skills, and encouraging them to develop the confidence they need to pursue their goals and become productive individuals who feel capable of achieving their dreams. I do not weigh in on their personal choices regarding identity.
To that end, I maintain a strictly neutral therapeutic stance on matters of sexual orientation and gender identity. I do not initiate discussions on these topics, explore them in depth, diagnose them, or attempt to influence a child’s understanding or decisions in any direction. Decisions in these areas belong exclusively with the child’s parents and family, who know the child best. Should questions or concerns arise during sessions, I will respectfully redirect the conversation back to the family for their guidance and will not mediate disagreements between family members.
