Why I do this.

Hi, I’m Tanner Garrett — founder and therapist at TSG Counseling.

I’ve always believed that growth starts when we stop pretending everything’s fine and start getting honest — with ourselves, with others, and with the parts of life that feel messy or uncertain. My work as a therapist grew out of a lifelong passion for understanding people and helping them find peace in the middle of life’s chaos.

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Brigham Young University (BYU) and my Master’s in Psychology with an Emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from California Southern University. Through that foundation, I’ve built an approach that’s both grounded and practical — combining evidence-based methods with genuine, down-to-earth conversations that help clients create real change. Whether we’re working through anxiety, trauma, addiction, or relationship struggles, therapy with me is about understanding what’s really driving the pain and building tools that make life more stable, connected, and meaningful.

Outside of the therapy room, you’ll usually find me outdoors — camping, hiking, or playing sports. I love quiet mornings by a campfire, long hikes that clear the mind, and the joy of competing and laughing with friends. When I’m home, I enjoy board games, video games, and reading — but more than anything, I love spending time with my wife and our three kids. They’re my reminder that life isn’t about perfection — it’s about showing up, being present, and growing together.

If you’re ready to begin that process of growth and healing for yourself, let’s take the first step together — book your session today.
