Avery Garrett, (he/they)

My clients describe me as:

Affirming, patient, and open-minded. My style is warm but direct and many of my clients appreciate dark humor.

Something to know about my approach is:

my approach is eclectic and flexible to your goals and needs! Depending on what you're interested in exploring, we may use a combination of psychodynamic (talk) therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, parts work/inner child healing, and ACT.

Together, we will:

explore what balance looks like for you and make a plan to help get you there. For most of my clients, that means reducing OCD or anxiety symptoms so that you don't have to organize your life around that nagging 'what-if' feeling.

I specialize in working with people who:

belong to the LGBTQIA+ community and are grappling with OCD, anxiety, and burnout. I am a queer therapist with extensive experience practicing LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy and offer specialized treatment for OCD and related disorders, including ERP.

I became a therapist because:

being a person is hard and everyone deserves support. Therapy has been transformative in my own life as well as for so many of my clients!

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

it's right around the corner from the beach :)
