Welcome, my name is Michael Garrett. I work with youth, adults, families, and couples who are challenged by everyday life stressors. As a Geek therapist, I am use the psychology of geek culture in order to better ourselves and avoid unwanted behaviors. Do you find yourself feeling extremely sad, lonely, or have difficulty getting out of bed? Do you feel so anxious that it is difficult to get through each day? Perhaps you or even someone you know is struggling with finding a balance between video games and life. If any of this sounds familiar to you, I’m here to help.
As a Geek Therapist through Geek Therapeutics, I utilize Geek Therapy techniques alongside with Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. With almost 12 years in the field, I have helped individuals who have experienced symptoms of Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, and Psychosis.
I am here as a supporting character on your journey. You are the hero of your story, and even heroes call on others for assistance. I want to take the time to understand where you've come from and assist you in gathering your strength to move you forward in life. If you have questions, give me a call and we can see if I am the best fit for you.
