Hi, I'm Gary Snider, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. I am a seasoned clinician with 13+ years of experience in the mental field. I work with individuals in a variety of areas (specializing in adolescents/teens) including anger management, anxiety, behavioral issues, coping skills, depression, family conflict, peer relationships, and stress, amongst others. My approach to therapy includes utilization of methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, Coaching, and EMDR.

Anger. Guilt. Resentment. These are the common themes we all struggle with, today. Sadness is all too real when we hurt, and when we do not cope well, or do not know how to cope with our anger, guilt, and/or resentment, we can become depressed. What you will see, is a vicious cycle; a depressed person then becomes angry, and resentful, and can start to feel guilt. We are all able and capable of making better decisions for ourselves and for our loved ones. There is no shame in asking for help...only regret in never trying. I can help you.

Is the arguing getting unbearable? Or just the silence? Distrust? Disconnection? Let's quickly focus on the most serious issues you face. Get ready for a compassionate, yet very "problem-solving" approach as you and I work together to untangle the knots that keep you stuck. If you are prepared for your life to get better, give me a call.

Through clinical, life experience, and compassion I value working to assist those willing to make a positive difference in their lives.

My passion is to help clients go through life transitions and challenges with more ease by identifying and rediscovering their strengths to develop a healthy lifestyle.
