Denim L. Slade, Ph.D. is a former Marriage and Family Therapist of over 22 years. He practiced in Ohio and Texas before returning to his native Utah seven years ago. His desire to use his experience, knowledge and skills to help a broader base of people has motivated Dr. Slade to move away from therapy into education and coaching. In addition to face-to-face help, he has been able to help clients across the country and in various parts of the world via tele-coaching where his clients have been able to access high quality care from the convenience and comfort of their own homes. Dr. Slade has taken his 22.5 years of therapeutic experience and 10 years of formal education to create the Healthy and Happy Program. In the H+H program participants gain knowledge, skills and tools that research has shown to lead to health and happiness individually and relationally. In addition to the homework that helps participants incorporate the things they learn, they are also able to schedule individual and relationship sessions to help transform lives and relationships.
