Professional statement

Annette Gardner is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor located in Saint George, UT who specializes in working with children that face difficulty with anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, depression, or ADHD. Annette’s clients’ mental health negatively impacts their ability to engage in work, school, and relationships, including friendships and relationships with family members. 

 

Annette’s goal when working with clients is to help them find ways to avoid strenuous interactions with other people. Clients develop emotional management skills that help them effectively work through distress or difficult emotion without outbursts or conflict. Annette does this work through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment, Self-regulation, Competency (ARC) therapy, and Parent-Child Care. She also offers art and play therapy, which helps her connect with younger children or those who find it difficult to put their emotions into words. 

 

Annette earned a Master’s degree from Walden University. She has nearly 10 years of clinical experience, with a focus on genuine, positive relationships that lead to healing or peace. She enjoys incorporating creativity into her sessions and is passionate about helping children thrive.
