Garrett Pollert, Ph.D.
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in using evidence based treatments, such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, to treat a range of disorders. I focus on treating "difficult to control" issues, such as OCD, trichotillomania, excoriation, adult eating disorders, anxiety, and depression.
My practice is primarily teletherapy. I am licensed in Utah, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and am also licensed via Psypact, which allows me to conduct teletherapy in the vast majority of states. I am only able to work with individual adults at this time. I do not provide therapy for adolescents, children, or couples.
