Getting to know Gary Anderson

I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CMHC) licensed in Utah, with a Master’s in Psychology from Utah State University and a Bachelor’s from Weber State University. I have 25+ years of experience in education, guidance counseling, social work, and mental health care, working in public and private settings including schools, outdoor and residential youth treatment programs, and outpatient clinics. My approach I strive to be personable and approachable, recognizing that everyone comes to therapy from a unique place in their journey. I aim to be the best part of that journey I can be, keeping things real and down to earth while finding practical solutions to everyday challenges. My focus Most clients I work with struggle with depression and anxiety. I often work with couples and families in conflict and have extensive experience with troubled and at-risk teens and youth. I also work with clients facing addictions. My communication style Clients often say, “You are not like other therapists I have worked with.” I consider myself a bit unconventional. I keep things real and down to earth, focusing on practical solutions. I strive to be personable and approachable, recognizing each client’s unique journey. For some, therapy is new and can be scary. I follow a philosophy of “leave it better than you found it,” inspired by childhood camping experiences. Whether it’s a campsite or people, I aim to leave them better than I found them.
