Psychologist/therapist northern utah that deals with complex patients?

I'm looking for a psychologist or therapist in the Northern Utah area. Preferably in the Logan-Ogden area. I have some pretty complex issues and need more help than I'm currently getting with my current therapist.

Anyone that specializes in Autism, OCD, and Anxiety would be fantastic

Is my heating situation overkill?

I have a male asian forest scorpion. The room he's in gets pretty cold. No lower than 66F. He's in a basement. He seems happy with his current set up but I'm wondering if it's too much. He is always on his cooler side.

On average my room temp is 69, 70F. Colder at night

I have both a heat mat set to 85F and a CHE right above set to 77F. I found this combination helpful to get his tank temp in the mid 70s.

He is an a 10gal bioactive tank. With a drainage layer and 5 inches of substrate. It's a mix of leaf litter, sphagum moss, reptisoil, and coco fiber

The problem I'm running into is the humidity. I have to spray pretty heavily. And his cool side is where it is most damp, he spends the most time there. He is also eating inconsistently and I worry about dehydration.

I was wondering if I should remove either the mat or the CHE. I think the combination of both is overkill

​

I finally started the evaluation process. I found a psychologist near me who specializes in autism evaluations. I'm reading into him and he has been endorsed and praised by a lot of people. The first appointment lasted about 2 hours. I gave him a typed up document of 26 pages along with school transcripts. He expressed he was very grateful that I typed this all up. This appointment was last month.

He pointed out that this evaluation won't just be looking at autism.

He also said he'll be asking my boy and best friend some questions.

I have an appointment next week to find out the results but I'm terrified. I am scared of what it'll be. Mainly if it's not autism. I'm already diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, GAD, PSTD, when I was younger I was told I had ODD. My doctor thought I was bipolar. Because what else could it be? I've been struggling my entire life. I've been on so many meds and have seen countless therapists and counselors. my therapist mentioned borderline personality disorder. I would like an answer so I can get accommodations at school when to start going. Along with validation

How should I reduce my anxiety?
