Kathy Garber, LMFT
Short Term Therapy with Long Term Results
Center of Solutions, LLC
Whether you are feeling misunderstood, stressed out or just have the need to discuss your problems with a caring, considerate and thoughtful therapist you have come to the right place. I offer a straightforward Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach with an empathic and supportive environment. I can help you to clarify your goals, understand and work through roadblocks, and break down your challenges into positive solutions. I encourage you to become proactive in your life and get excited about change. Together we might discover that you actually possess the resources to solve your own problems. You may just need to view them in a different perspective.
I am convinced that therapy need not take years to be effective. Positive personal change can occur quickly. It just takes courage, some insight and a few new strategies.
