Our Philosophy
Our philosophy that guides our professional activities is simple:"To improve the quality of life for those we serve and to do no harm".  We believe that what we do is a sacred responsibility that we have earned through education, experience, hard work and dedication to the counseling profession.  We approach each day with an honest sense of gratitude and appreciation for being given the opportunity to serve others in their time of difficulty, need or suffering.  Such a responsibility is not to be taken lightly because we understand that, most often, people will try one time to get assistance and we desire that their experience with us be a positive and productive one.  We are at a place and time in the world that each one of us needs to be connected to others in a positive and fulfilling way.  We believe that we offer others the knowledge and wisdom and understanding that comes from our varied educational and life experiences that have served to prepare us to wisely undertake this important work with the understanding that we carry a significant responsibility in our attempts to improve the human condition and to assist others to find themselves and happiness and fulfillment that is similar to that which we ourselves have already come to know.  Each client will be asked to take personal responsibility for their own actions which allows each client the opportunity to become a part of their own identified solution to the issues that they have been confronting.

When you come to see Dr. Garlock, please know that he cares and wants to help you obtain what you seek and desire in the way of happiness, contentment, fulfillment and self understanding and an improved quality of life. We assure you that you will be heard, understood and respected when you make the call to our office.  While there can be no guarantees about the outcomes of our mutual efforts on your behalf, Dr. Garlock will do his best to assist you by applying all of the proven treatment techniques that he has learned that have been demonstrated to be beneficial in situations like the one you are experiencing.  Dr. Garlock believes that it is important that each client be actively involved in their own therapy and resolution process.  At times, it may be necessary to refer some clients for medication evaluations, specialized treatment programs or other forms of medical or psychiatric services.  Dr. Garlock will actively involve you and guide you through the referral process when a referral is needed.

We would appreciate having the opportunity to be of service to you as you take the necessary steps to find hope, support and assistance to resolve the pressing issues that occupy your daily living.  We look forward to talking with you in the near future.   To talk with Dr. Garlock or to schedule an appointment, please call our office at 281-444-2678 and speak with Anissa or with Dr. Garlock.

Thanks for taking the time to learn about the philosophy that supports our daily work and our own lives.
