More about Dr. Eric Gardner, PsyD
Hi there, I'm Eric!
Dr. Eric Gardner, licensed psychologist; I have worked with populations of patients across the human lifespan, which has always been important to me in my career, but I have not always understood why. I can now say that I have discovered a human commonality that is essential to success in treatment and of extraordinary value to every person regardless of age or gender or development. I am glad to share this perspective with you, which does not mean I am a businessman--It means I am here to help
My approach
Modalities: CBT; Dynamic; Humanistic; Phenomenological Specialties: ADHD; PTSD; Anger; Reality-based feedback
My focus
Good kids make mistakes. ADHD is a Gift--Not a curse. It's not your fault. Brutal honesty is the worst kind of Love. Getting lost is good. Expose your ignorance. Follow the logic: 1+1-3. Change one thing, change everything. Trust me, I'm a Doctor.
My communication style
"Effective" communication requires two (2) critical components--and I will be glad to share them with you in our 2nd session. Tone, Pitch, and Volume are more important than the words that follow. Feedback is best when it is immediate and specific.
My journey to therapy
I will share a secret with you--If you would like your children to "stop lying" and "tell the truth", then you must create an environment that is safe to tell the truth. Brutal honesty is the worst kind of Love, but it's better than a Lie that leads to Anger. And you may not know this--You are really scary when you get angry. And those images of Fear can last a lifetime.
My goals for you
1) Therapeutic Alliance 2) Acceptance of Individual Strengths and Limitations 3) Treatment Satisfaction (Results)
My first session with you
First-session jitters—we all get them. I'm going to ask you very personal things. You probably won't remember most of what we talked about. But you will remember how you felt, and that will be enough to follow up.

I like my new psychologist. It's working well so far.

Eric Gardner was incredibly sweet, encouraging, and transparent. I felt sincerely listened to and invested in. I, myself, am looking for a therapist who sees through the progress I've made on my own to the paradigms, patterns, and foundational dynamics in need of the kind of challenge, perspective, and resolution I'm only so capable of myself.
I recommend Eric, and I'd do another session if I wasn't at the start of my search for a therapist.
