Focusing her business on providing children, individuals, couples, and families with counseling services, she helps them address various mental health concerns to get them back on track.
Dedicated to her clients, Ms. Garrow's approach is based on cognitive behavioral therapy, which is widely recognized as the most effective form. It involves changing the clients' thinking patterns, which can be maintained long-term and helps them develop positive changes in their behavior. Additionally, Ms. Garrow is well-versed in trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy, as well as psychodynamic, family systems, strength-based, and person-centered therapy.
Ms. Garrow helps patients aged six to 72 deal with trauma, loss, sexual and physical abuse and neglect, and post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as behavioral challenges found in children, including attention deficit hyper disorder, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, and addiction, and adolescents making various life choices. Additionally, Ms. Garrow works with patients on the bipolar spectrum and those with schizophrenia. She provides her services primarily via telehealth but also in person.
Ms. Garrow was recently offered a newly-designed part-time position with the Redmond, Washington, Police Department to collaborate on creating a strong social work/police program. She will play a significant role in caring for the mental health of the chief and his team so they can practice wellness in their lives and high-stress career. The position, which will commence in March 2024, will involve training social workers and providing therapy to police officers as well as higher level law enforcement officers not necessarily in the field.

Ms. Garrow experienced a traumatic childhood that included poverty and homelessness. She also had to learn at a young age how to grow into parenting a child with lifelong disabilities.
