Michael Garrett, LMFT Counselor in San Diego, specializing in Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Schizophrenia, and Geek Therapy
I chose to become a therapist in San Diego, CA because I could see the pain in the world and people wanting to find a way to manage life stressors. I started working with kids, teenagers, and young adults with severe behavioral challenges. From there, I received training on how to treat individuals with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, and schizophrenia (psychosis).
I work with individuals ages 5 and up, providing individual therapy family therapy, and couples counseling in San Diego, CA.
Over time, I also learned that I could combine geek culture with different forms of therapy. When it comes to therapy, I’m a huge advocate of identifying your own strengths and interests to see if we can use them to bring about change. Whether you’re into anime, superheroes, comics, tabletop, role-playing games, video games, movies, or other forms of pop culture, the stories behind these fandoms can be used to improve our everyday lives alongside evidence based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy.
