Hello, My name is Garrett Price. I do not think of people as sick or broken; I refuse to see others through the lens of disease. You are not your diagnosis, you are not your loss, you are not your thoughts, your feelings, or your actions. You are that which is behind your eyes, a wonderful mystery that is having this experience. This experience, or what we sometimes call life, can be hard, and in difficult times it's helpful to have a path or direction. This is the idea of Trailhead; a place to find a welcoming other, to discover new skills, heal the mind, strengthen the soul, and find a way forward.

I hope you will find here what you are looking for in a therapist. My expertise includes dealing with day to day stressors or serious and chronic conditions related to trauma and abuse. An ideal client is one who will entertain the idea of healing even if ambivalent, and who will engage in a therapeutic relationship even if trust has been a challenge in the past. Whether it is addiction, questions about sexuality or gender, concerns about the normalcy of one's experiences, or myriad complexities of daily life, I invite you to begin or continue your journey in a safe and confidential environment.

If you are here searching for a counselor, then something has probably happened in your life to cause you suffering. And, I imagine, you would like to do something about that to change. Yet, so often you feel stuck! -- stuck in patterns of behavior that keep you entrenched in that misery. I want to help you get to the roots of whatever is causing you pain, to help you make peace with events in life that you cannot change, and to help you find the knowledge and courage to make changes in ways that best serve you!

Being an overthinker myself, I have learned the power of implicit knowing and through mindfulness practices holding space to listen to all parts of self. Validating the unique human experience of each of my clients with warmth and acceptance is priority in the work I do. Feeling truly seen, heard, and understood without judgement builds connections with self and others. I enjoy “being a fellow traveler” with my clients as they find their own voice and empowerment to live the life that aligns best for them. "Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed." -Thich Nhat Hanh

I help my clients navigate the complexities of their relationships, both as partners and as parents. If you find yourself feeling stuck by cycling through the same argument with your partner, or if you want to reduce the overwhelm in parenting, then we will likely be a good fit. In our initial sessions, we will explore your family history to determine beliefs that you formed about relationships - both with yourself and others. My goal is to guide you in better understanding your relationship patterns so that you can heal past family trauma and attain more meaningful connections with others.

Emotionally Focused Therapists
Who is emotionally focused therapy for?
Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is for couples who are emotionally distressed, stuck in an unsatisfying relationship pattern or feeling deeply alienated. They may even believe the relationship is beyond repair. Very often, the partners display intense anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal in the relationship. In addition, EFT is helpful to couples and individuals who have difficulty expressing emotions and those who have trouble regulating emotions.
Why do people need emotionally focused therapy?
People need emotionally focused therapy because the need for others is built into the brain, but the pressures of daily life can erode feelings of love, and couples often do not have the skills to find their way back to the comfort of each other. Instead, they may be stuck in repetitive patterns of anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal. Emotionally focused therapy regards such strong negative feelings as expressions of protest over the loss of connection and turns them into pathways of reconnection.
What happens in emotionally focused therapy?
Over the course of eight to 20 weekly sessions, couples de-escalate their negative emotional reactivity to one another so that they can listen to each other and be responsive to each other’s needs. Then the deep emotional and physical bond is restored, giving partners a sense of comfort and security, which they can use to solve whatever problems come their way. The therapist plays an active role, helping partners understand how anger and withdrawal are actually misguided cries for connection.
What problems does emotionally focused therapy treat?
EFT is designed to help couples stuck in dysfunctional relationship patterns regain closeness and rebuild their relationship. Typically, such couples experience considerable distress, with partners feeling alienated and distrustful of one another, not certain their relationship can survive. EFT is also helpful to individuals experiencing attachment-related fears of loss; it helps them learn to use their fears as a way of eliciting the closeness they desire.
