Gary Norman, LCSW, LICSW — Therapist in Minnesota

Hi there, I'm Gary!

I'm committed to partnering with you on your path to healing and growth. I work with adults and teens navigating trauma, grief, loss, depression, and anxiety.

My focus

I work with adults and teens as young as 16. I support people impacted by trauma, grief, loss, depression, and anxiety.

My approach

You know yourself better than anyone. I provide a trusting environment and build our relationship by unpacking your situation at a pace comfortable to you. I use client-centered, solution-focused, and strengths-based approaches, adapting to honor your unique needs.

My communication style

Working with me will feel like sitting down with a trusted person who will listen, ask questions, and occasionally challenge you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I fell in love with being a therapist during my clinical internship. I've gravitated toward people who experienced trauma and loss. I always feel honored when people invite me into their world, and I hope to support you along your path.

My goals for you

Goals will be identified early in our relationship and will come from a deep exploration of your situation. You set the goals. I just keep us on track and support you through the process.

Our first session

The first session is an opportunity for me to get to know you and for you to get to know my role in the therapy process. Our therapeutic relationship is key in moving toward positive change and healing.
