My name is Gary Anderson. I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CMHC) in the State of Utah. My 25+ years of experience includes a background in education, guidance counseling, social work, and mental health care. I have worked in both public and private settings, schools, outdoor youth treatment programs, residential youth treatment programs, and outpatient settings.
When it comes to therapy, I try to be personable and approachable. I have learned that everyone comes to this process from a unique place in their own journey. I try to recognize where the client is at in their journey and then be the best part of that journey I can be. I try to keep things real and down to earth, working to find practical solutions to everyday challenges.
I can’t be very helpful to you if I don’t know what it is you need. My daughter in law is an artist and she shared a wise thought with my son that kinda stuck in our family, “Trust the process”. It means that we have to start somewhere, and take steps and see where things go. We won’t always know what the final outcome is going to be. But we have to trust the process from beginning to end in order to get there. What do I ask? Just be honest, and “Trust the process.”
