I am a very experienced, compassionate, and skilled clinician. I have a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor’s in Psychology. I have been licensed since 2007. I understand how early life events can shape identity and coping strategies and how these can play out to influence current situations. I am adept at helping clients gain insight and resolve past issues to prevent them from continuing to negatively impact the current situation and future events. I help clients find freedom from negative influences of the past and develop healthier and more adaptive perspectives that allow them to be the person they want to be.

I use Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral strategies to help clients gain understanding into how defense mechanisms and beliefs are influencing their relationships with themselves, others, and the world around them. I use EMDR when clients are aware of a negative impact from past experiences or trauma and haven’t been able to overcome the negative effect.

I hope to get to know and understand you, offer new insights and perspectives, and help you move through any unresolved past hurts. I believe that therapy should produce significant and lasting improvements. I have a deep and sincere faith and hope this is evident in our therapeutic relationship. Schedule an appointment and I will meet you where you’re at.

I am Owen Guthrie, a Registered Clinical Social Worker Intern, with 7 years of experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. With a background in both criminal justice and mental health, I understand how difficult it can feel to break free from cycles that no longer serve you. I partner with clients who feel weighed down but are ready for change, helping them build healthier coping skills, strengthen relationships, and uncover their inner resilience.

I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Grand Canyon University. My approach draws from my experience in criminal justice and mental health to support individuals in breaking unhealthy cycles, building coping skills, and discovering their resilience to create lasting, meaningful change.

I know how overwhelming life’s challenges can feel, and I believe no one should face them alone. I provide a safe and supportive space where you can feel heard and valued. I invite you to take the first step toward healing and growth by reaching out today—you don’t have to navigate this journey by yourself.
