Mitch Gerharter

Hello, I'm Mitch Gerharter, a Licensed Professional Counselor, with more than 18 years of experience in counseling, supporting individuals and families through all of life's challenges and transitions. I hold a Master's Degree in Counselor Education through the University of Wyoming. My background includes, individual therapy, crisis intervention, trauma-informed care and outpatient support. I like to listen and to work to really get to know someone, so that I might better understand them and how they are experiencing life. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, trauma and relationship concerns. I am genuine, grounded, easy going, approachable and encouraging. I believe therapy in its purest form, is a partnership. I believe in listening, providing creative ideas and working to empower the individual. My goal is always to foster strength, courage and resiliency.

I focus on being calm, warm, genuine and real. I want the client to feel safe and comfortable being their authentic selves and being honest. I work with people struggling with a wide variety of life's challenging issues including, depression, anxiety, trauma related issues and relationship struggles. I believe in working together to utilize the client's strengths, knowledge and life experiences to help them find the best solution for the issues they are facing. I believe in using honesty, humor and fostering hope to move forward in the most positive way possible.

Our first session will be a chance to get to know each other in a warm and safe space. We will talk about what brought you into therapy, what you hope to achieve from it, including goal setting, and where you would like the most support. I will answer any questions that you might have and work to get to know you a bit, so that we might better work together as a team to assist you in the best way possible. I want you to feel safe, heard and respected throughout our time together.
