Garry Cowles, LMFT, LMHC, LPCC — Therapist in New Mexico

Hi there, I'm Garry!

I work with adults specializing in anxiety, relationship issues, anger management, depression, life transitions, and substance abuse. I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Transactional Analysis to help my clients make progress with their goals and become more effective in life.

My focus

My style and approach are a good fit for adults dealing with work stress, relationship issues, porn and substance abuse addiction, anger management, and life transitions. I work with clients to help them become more effective in dealing with their issues and achieving their therapy and life goals.

My approach

My approach varies based on your needs. I generally use Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Transactional Analysis to build a shared understanding of the dynamics of your issues. We work together to develop a treatment plan that addresses your needs and wants.

My communication style

My communication style is nonjudgmental and accommodating. I want my clients to be comfortable talking about their issues with me.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began my counseling career helping people develop educational and vocational goals. I then worked with severely emotionally disturbed children and later as a prison psychologist, assisting clients in reestablishing themselves with their families and communities through appropriate relationships and effective goals.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. This often starts by building trust and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. Over time, we'll work together to set goals and track your progress.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll spend much of our time talking about how you've been feeling recently. I'll ask questions about what is going on in your life with yourself, your relationships, and your work. Everyone is different, and I like to listen first before assuming I know what will work best for you moving forward.
