Welcome to Garrett Hooper Therapy.
My approach
I work with clients through relational, experiential, and somatic based lens to support deep work and changes that will last. Somatic (body based) and experiential therapy will bring you underneath the intellectual level that often traditional psychotherapy stays in. While a new mindset can absolutely help us, a key to shifting patterns that we cannot “think” our way through is activated when we are able to fully tune into our breath, our bodies, our relationships, and our energy. Experiential and somatic therapy helps us move towards health while in relationship, together in contact. Together we will build awareness of the power you have within yourself to make significant changes in your life and happiness.

Men, I am glad you’re here.
I am interested in men feeling powerful in who they are. Society has shamed men into feeling weak when we have feelings, and glorified the ideal man as being anything other than connected in relationship. The world needs us to be leaders, and we have to be able to lead from our power while also be connected to our softness (Duey Freeman, MA, LPC).
If you’re anything like me, the idea of reaching out for help isn’t an easy thing to step into. We need each other right now to grow past the limitation that society has placed on us. Stripped of feeling connection to our power and our feelings, we feel like we have to do it all our own. Let’s blow this idea up together!
Wisdom of your body.
Our current society values thinking over most ways of being. However, our body is the key to truly knowing ourselves. One of the main goals of therapy is to go from “talking” about what you are struggling with to “feeling and moving through” in order to get to a better way of living and being.
Contact.
“Contact is the place we meet emotionally, energetically, physically, and spiritually (Duey Freeman, MA LPC).”
Through struggles in relationships we form blockages. Sometimes to protect ourselves, sometimes to make sense of the unexplainable, the unfair, and the untrue.
Through contact in relationship with another person and with nature, we are able to move through those blockages formed from previous experiences.
I want to support you on your journey to becoming whole and who you truly are…
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
