About me
With 50 years as teacher/educator, probation officer and mental health therapist, I am a member of The National Board of Certified Counselors and have been licensed in Montana, Oregon, Alaska. I am presently licensed in Washington State. I provide psychotherapy for individuals to include children, adolescents, and adults, as well as, couples and family therapy. My initial orientation began with Rogers and client-centered therapy, and moved to integrative, and recovery, utilizing client strengths moving to resilient mental health. My speciality is of a multi and cross cultural orientation given my Native American and African Heritage. I have amassed considerable experience working with gay, lesbian, bisexual, and same sex clients, and the unique psychological issues present in the Native/African American Heritage, I spent six years on The Salish/Kootenai Reservation in Montana and four years working with Alaskan Natives in Fairbanks, Alaska. My experience with adolescents has been in a residential“positive peer orientation” to include individual, group and family therapies, cross-culturally.
Formal Education and Training: I hold the Bachelor of Arts Degree, with Majors in Psychology-Sociology, with (research in suicidality), Education, Theatre and Fine Arts from Western State College of Colorado; Master's Degree in Education, Psychology, Guidance and Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado; Masters of Fine Arts from The University of Montana, with major course work in theatre and group psychotherapy to include two independent studies with Robert Ammons Senior, Psychological Test Specialists, publisher of the KTSA. I also became a certified clinical hypnotherapist as I had gained experience as a hypnotherapist with Jack and Helen Watkins, utilizing "Ego-State Therapy. Finally, I completed major course work in clinical psychology toward the PsyD, at George Fox University, Newberg, Oregon. My most recent employment was as a group therapist providing “mindfulness “ training for emotional regulation, given a varied population to include those suffering depression and anxiety as a result of PTSD associated with violence and severe abuse. This has been inclusive of anger management associated with domestic violence and bipolar disorder. My specialization with cognitive therapy with schizophrenics was experiential over a five year period wherein I collaborated with the unit psychiatrist.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Gary Grant. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
He really listens, when I say something he doesn't immediately share the first thought on his mind, he really digests what I say and gives a response that is not only helpful, but makes me feel that somebody understands.

Gary Grant very easy to talk to with helpful feedback. My criticism is the technology of Better Help as the audio is poor! The video appointment currently not available.
