Getting to know Alyson Garnet

My path towards counseling stemmed from my own mental health challenges earlier in life. Through therapy, I learned healthy coping tools and began to heal. I knew I wanted to pay that gift forward. I earned my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Cumberlands, which deepened my understanding and skills. I understand how isolating and crushing constant, intense worries can feel. My warm, judgment-free approach makes space for you to feel truly seen, known, and hopeful. Everyone faces unique stressors, beliefs, and experiences. My approach is person-centered, focused on meeting you where you are.

What should a new client know about working with you?

For anxiety and depression, I often recommend cognitive behavioral approaches combined with mindfulness-based practices. Reframing unhelpful thought patterns while learning to calm both mind and body can provide lasting relief. For insomnia, we'll get to the root causes like stress or pain that disrupt sleep.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In the long run, I see my role as your partner. Our confidential sessions allow time for self-exploration without judgement. My goal isn't to "fix" you but rather encourage your own inner wisdom and resources. Progress happens one step at a time through compassionate self-inquiry, skill-building, and empowerment.
