Mr. Garett Wiltse  LCSW, LICSW

I try to step out of my own perspective and into the shoes of the person I am meeting with for therapy. I am a very genuine person who cares for those that I serve. My goal is to take a non-judgemental stance so that the client does not feel intimidated. I try to discuss the several different options of topics I have heard in the past to help them feel more comfortable and be less embarassed by what they may be sharing with me. My true goal is to help you and be a person who is supportive of you and will be your biggest encourager!

I have worked alongside many men in my time. I have noticed that a theme of being proud and not needing help is the theme. It takes some training and understanding how to break through the tough exterior to reach the little boy inside that was not dealt with appropriately for the said age. People want to be heard and that is important.

I will sit down with you and introduce myself to you officially. I will then go through some housekeeping items that I must check on with you to ensure your safety and location and also limits of confidentiality. I will then do a pretty in depth look at your whole life as a timeline to see how life may have affected you and to help you see these trends in your own life. I will allow you time to speak and discuss your needs and answer any questions you may have. I take a stance of learning alongside you as you do learning with me.
