Darren Wadsworth is a dedicated social worker based in Salt Lake City, Utah, currently providing in-home and mobile behavioral health services through Golden Mobile Behavioral Health. He specializes in serving older adults, addressing mental health challenges such as grief, depression, and anxiety, and prioritizes a compassionate, service-oriented approach to care.
Darren began his career in healthcare as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in hospice, where he spent four years gaining hands-on experience supporting patients at the end of life. This early experience inspired him to pursue a Master’s degree in Social Work, which he completed at the University of Utah in 2019. Since then, he has focused on helping the geriatric population navigate complex emotional and psychological challenges, emphasizing patient-centered, empathetic care.
With a strong commitment to giving back to the community, Darren leverages his clinical experience and education to make a meaningful impact on the lives of older adults.

What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
What I enjoy most about practicing social work is helping others. I’m particularly passionate about supporting older adults, who I feel are sometimes overlooked in the United States because they are no longer part of the workforce. I also value supporting organizations like the Alzheimer’s Association, which help provide critical resources and care for this population.
