Meet Gary

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas, with over 30 years of clinical experience. I have worked with many different and diverse populations over the years, but my primary expertise lies in helping individuals cope with stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT+ issues, relationship issues, depression and trauma.

I consider myself a Generalist Practitioner as I use a variety of therapeutic approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, Relationship Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to cater to the unique needs of each client. I provide a space where I am empathetic and non-judgmental. I go by the idea of unconditional positive regard for all clients. We all have the right to feel and to be able to express those feelings with healthy techniques and actions. 

I have extensive experience working with diverse populations across various settings including: Serious Mental Illness; Terminal Illness, Substance abuse; Co-occurring Disorders; Medical/health social work, both outpatient as well as inpatient; homeless, veterans. I also specialize in Trauma Focused therapy which allows me to work with individuals who have experienced traumatic events. My aim is always to create a safe space where clients can explore their feelings without fear or shame. Overall my goal is to empower individuals to overcome their challenges and lead fulfilling lives. If you’re looking for someone who will support you on your journey towards healing and growth and do it with a little humor and Southern charm, look no further!
