Gary Grant, LMHC

Gary Grant is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Washington with 50 years of experience in education, probation work, and psychotherapy. He works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, anger, and relationship difficulties. He also notes experience with LGBT concerns and multicultural issues related to Native American and African heritage.

Grant began his clinical orientation with client-centered therapy and has built an integrative practice over decades. He uses cognitive approaches and attachment-based ideas to help people recognize patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions can include focused skills for emotional regulation and practical strategies to change habits that increase anger or anxiety.

His background includes long-term work in residential settings, community corrections, and mindfulness-based group therapy for emotional regulation. That work addressed PTSD, trauma-related depression and anxiety, and anger linked to domestic violence and bipolar disorder. He also spent years working cross-culturally on reservations and in Alaska with Native communities.

Grant trained in hypnotherapy and has incorporated ego-state ideas into past practice. He has an academic record that includes a Master of Arts in Education, Psychology, Guidance and Counseling and graduate coursework toward a PsyD. This informs his blend of experiential and talk-based methods.

People looking to manage snapping, built-up resentment, irritability at work, or reactivity in relationships will find an approach focused on skills, reflection, and longer-term pattern change. He offers therapy informed by decades of varied practice and cultural experience.
