Garrett Reinhardt

MA, Counselor

My first goal in therapy is to create a safe space where you feel comfortable telling your story no matter what it is. Together, we can navigate through the pain and find the beauty that exists in all our stories. From there, we can construct a new narrative and growth can truly begin. I hope that you will allow me to walk through this journey with you!
