Hi, my name is Ms. Garvin. I have 20 yrs. of experience as a LCSW and a NYS Psychotherapist. I have a great respect for all cultural, racial and religious backgrounds. My primary goal is to treat anxiety, depression, anger etc. to improve client’s daily function. I am extremely open-minded, a great listener and solution oriented. My greatest strength is to “help clients look beyond the surface and look within to find a greater sense of inner peace.”
As a provider, I utilize an eclectic therapeutic approach combining Psychoanalysis, Psychodynamic and CBT. These approaches help achieve disorder remission and relapse prevention. I also utilize developmental framework to help clients understand how life events and experiences shape core beliefs to promote a positive change.
Clients should expect to enter a welcoming, respectful and nonjudgemental environment. They should expect a forum in which to openly and safely vent and/or communicate all areas of concern. Clients should expect to learn techniques to restore happiness and improve overall social, emotional and mental function and well-being.
