Nolan Garrett, LPC

Nolan Garrett brings a long career in counseling that spans work in psychiatric hospitals, community-based mental health facilities, and private practice. He holds an M.Ed. from Southwest Texas State University (now Texas State University) and maintains professional involvement through memberships in the American Counseling Association, the Texas Counseling Association, and CHADD - Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. He has also served as president of the Heart of Texas Counseling Association.

Nolan addresses a wide range of difficulties that can emerge at different points in life, including depression, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief and guilt, impulsive or destructive behaviors, anger management, and other challenges that interfere with personal or interpersonal functioning. He frames therapy as collaborative work that requires effort from both the person seeking help and the clinician, and he offers an accepting, nonjudgmental stance in sessions.

He emphasizes practical support for restoring harmony in marriages and families, for managing intense emotions or behavioral problems, and for coping with major life transitions. Nolan views therapeutic progress as a gradual process in which increased self-acceptance opens the door to greater contentment and improved relationships. He acknowledges the difficulty of taking the first step toward help and affirms the value of reaching out for support.
