Garrett Kohler, LPC
Finding and making a connection with your therapist is one of the most important parts of the therapeutic process because every therapists approach is unique to themselves. My approach to therapy is to create a safe, warm, and nonjudgmental environment so my clients can express themselves authentically. I also consider myself "goofy and silly" and believe that joy and laughter can play a vital role in the healing process, so I try to bring humor into sessions when it's appropriate. Finally, I want to be the therapist you need and I will always be willing to hear your feedback and concerns to adapt to your needs.
