Hello ; My name is Garry Cowles and I am a New Mexico Licensed Clinical Counselor. I have 48 years working as a counselor. I began my counseling career working with emotional distressed children who were committed to residential treatment because of their violent behaviors. I spent most of my career assisting incarcerated clients reestablish themselves with their families and in the community with appropriate relationships and effective vocational and educational goals. I have focused on helping individuals with anger management, substance abuse, relationship issues, depression, and anxiety.
I use a non judgmental client centered solution focused cognitive approach to assist you in making and following through with effective life decisions.

I highly recommend Gary. He’s been giving me tools to cope with the trauma and anxiety Ive suffered. I’ve been working with Gary for about 6-7 months and starting to live my best life.

My first few sessions with Garry were outstanding — he guided me through some great models and tools that were very helpful. Our later sessions started to get more conversational, and I started to feel a little less aligned with Garry. That may just be me, but that was the experience I had. But I have to say those initial sessions with him were a breakthrough. I greatly appreciate Garry Cowles and the work we did together.
