Getting to know Whitney Garr

Hi there, I'm Whitney! Hello everyone! My name is Whitney Garr, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from The University of Utah. After 15+ years of experience treating individuals in the mental health and coaching field, and many years of life experience (yes, I'm a bit on the mature side LOL), I would like to share these skills with you! I am passionate about living a healthy, high-quality life in mind, body, and soul! I believe you can achieve this! My approach I am very research-minded and lean on evidence-based practices that have shown to bring results. Included in my favorites are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Positive Psychology, Strengths Perspective, Brief Solution Focused Therapy, as well as Client Centered Therapy. Each client is in need of different approaches, so I tailor and individualize your treatment plan to help you succeed! My focus Over the many years of my career, I have treated all ages and populations of clients. However, now I focus on all genders ages 15+ in individual therapy. My specialties are treating depression, anxiety, life crises, and life changes. My communication style I have been told I have a calming effect on my clients. I strive to provide a safe, warm, and comfortable energy so my clients feel at ease and can open up and share their innermost thoughts and feelings. I have a soft, supportive approach as well as being a very responsive listener. In addition, I find it important to give constructive feedback and guidance for strategies and tools to use every day. My journey to mental healthcare When I was a child, I spent a lot of time with my grandmother. She was dedicated to helping others, often taking meals to those who were sick, driving elderly to their appointments, and offering a hug and words of encouragement. She inspired me to want to do the same in some way!
