About me
Are life's challenges weighing heavily on your mind and body? Do the burdens of your experiences feel impossible to carry alone? You don’t have to face them by yourself—hope and healing are closer than you think. As a licensed therapist, I’m here to provide the support and guidance you need to find clarity, regain confidence, and take meaningful steps forward in your healing journey. My name is Gary Schmidt, and as an experienced LCSW telehealth therapist, I’m ready to help you reclaim your strength and well-being. Let’s connect and take that first step together.
I specialize in helping individuals heal and rediscover their true selves through a deeply personalized approach. My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), guiding you toward healing and reintegration by fostering balance within. I use attachment theory to deepen connection to others and the Self, as well as mindfulness to foster presence.
I know reaching out can be tough, but you don’t have to face this alone. When you're ready, I’m here to listen and support you. Let’s connect and explore how I can help—call or email today to schedule a brief consultation.

Gary is a super calm and mellow person. I am able to talk with him and not feel judged. I would recommend him to anyone that asked.

Gary has so far been one of the best therapist I have ever had after the 2-3 I’ve experienced. He always listens and takes a deep dive into any word you say or any situation you bring up. After the few sessions we’ve had he has always found a way to keep it different and not the same every time. He also makes sure not to give me any homework which is amazing for me a full time college student and collegiate athlete I barely have time in general. Lastly Gary is very good on time and working his own schedule to fit yours.
