Bear Haslam, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Delta Clinical Director

I was raised in the great valley of Hurricane. Early in life, I realized that I had an extraordinary interest in helping others work towards improving themselves in all aspects of life. This interest has come from what I personally have experienced from the refining moments of necessary adversity in everyday life and life stages.

I began my career in residential treatment working as a staff for at risk youth and found much joy in that experience. This led me to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Communication from Dixie State University and eventually a  Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northcentral University, a COAMFTE approved program. I have extensive history working with families and adolescent boys who struggle with all manner of addiction, depression, anxiety and relational barriers. I believe that all aspects of self (Mental, Emotional, Physical and Spiritual) must be continually worked on with and developed in order to achieve a fulfilled life.

I firmly believe that, as a clinician, it is imperative for me to continually improve my own mental health and build healthy relationships within my own life. I cannot help my patients develop past the point that I have developed myself. For that reason I maintain a high level drive in active and relational living with my wife and 3 children. I enjoy doing hard things because I see myself grow through doing them.

Misty Bliss, Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor

I was born in Anaheim, California. I lived all over as a military brat, graduating from high school in San Antonio, Texas. I went on to attend college and served a mission for my church. Shortly before graduating with a degree in psychology from Brigham Young University, I married. My husband and I settled down in Stephenville, Texas where we started our family.

After 6 years, we made our way to Oak City, Utah where my husband left the dairy industry to turn his ever-growing beekeeping hobby into a commercial enterprise. When the youngest of my six children started elementary school, I began working in residential treatment while earning a Master’s degree in school counseling. I have loved every minute of working with middle and high school students. As a mental health practitioner in my area, I became very aware of the need for more mental health resources in Millard County. That led me to augment my school counseling practice with licensure as a CMHC (Clinical Mental Health Counselor). I am thrilled to now be providing counseling services in my community in Millard County.
