I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and Pennsylvania with over 17 years of experience working as a Psychotherapist and Behavioral Specialist Consultant. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, Bipolar, relationship issues, parenting problems, grief and loss, gender identity, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm, direct, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, existential, and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor your treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to pursue for a more fulfilling and happier life. I am proud of you for taking the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support, to encourage, and to empower you on that journey. You can also schedule a live session (text chat, phone call, video session) with me using the Scheduler. The days/times you see are when I am available for a session, so feel free to select any slot there that works for you. I look forward to working with you!

She is a great listener. She even catches on to things that I wasn’t necessarily wanting to put out right away. But it was like she sensed it or something. She’s really good at what she does. Look forward to more sessions and becoming a better me through these sessions

Since working with Dr. Garret-Moultrie I have improved in my marriage, career, family interactions and even how I care for myself. It’s positively amazing what we are able to accomplish with just a session each week. I have tried therapy before and it never helped me until now, but after 6 months with Dr. Garret-Moultrie cannot recommend her enough. She listens to understand before just telling you what to do. Somehow we are able to discuss very heavy topics while also laughing at some point during the session. She has helped with everything from career to sex life (which is amazing now). If you need someone to help you don’t look any further than her.

Absolutely wonderful.

Dr. Moultrie is such a kind understanding therapist. She is amazing. She really tries to walk you though problems so you come to the conclusion on your own in a sense. She’s very gentle. It doesn’t feel like she’s talking at you, but with you and she really listens. If something happens that delays the appointment, she will always let you know which I appreciate so much. Definitely one of the best on here.

I loved having her as my therapist. She’s very attentive and caring. I enjoyed the rapport she developed with me. I could tell she genuinely cared about my well-being. She listened well and I always felt heard, understood, and validated (even when I was wrong in a situation). I felt like she addressed my needs appropriately and always understood my concerns. She made sure to help when I was approaching any situation from the wrong point of view. She made it a point to help me see how I can change my perspective and adjust going forward. I feel blessed to have had her as a therapist.

Dr. Garrett-Moultrie is one of the best counselors I've ever had the pleasure of speaking with. She is incredibly compassionate, patient, and understanding. Her counseling style is clearly considered, and her advice is both grounded yet hope-filled.
I specifically signed up to speak with Dr. Garrett-Moultrie to discuss my anxieties, but I ended up bringing my partner into our meetings. It was the first time either of us have ever had relationship counseling. Dr. Garrett-Moultrie listens intently, offers both sides a fair ground, and guides us through our conflict. Her advice has truly made a difference in our communication and we have never been more at peace and happy with one another.
If you’re on the fence and don’t know if therapy is right for your relationship but you know things could be better, just do it, preferably with Dr. Garrett-Moultrie. She is the best.
