As a counselor Garrett believes two factors are integral to success: the counselor and client relationship and the ability (or willingness to learn) to express meaningful content in conversations. Thankfully, these complement each other well; as people learn to express their true intentions better, stronger relationships can form. To facilitate this skill development Garrett focuses on: assessment of language use, relationship context, control dynamics and behavioral interactions. 

Garrett has extensive experience integrating neuropsychological assessment data into the counseling process in order for clients to learn directly how learning processes impact their problem-solving skills in work, school and relationships.
