About me
Are you looking for a sense of hope in the midst of life's challenges? If so, my practice offers not only a sense of hope but real healing from the inside out. My name is Gary Schmidt and I am a trained Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist and I look forward to connecting with you.
I have expertise in a wide range of mental health areas. My work is deeply informed by IFS (healing and reintegration), attachment theory (connection to others and ourselves) and mindfulness (presence and non-judgement). If this interests you, please consider a consultation to consider if my service is a suitable match for your needs.

Gary was professional and everything I hoped for.

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.
