Meet Geri Harames, MSC

Geri's philosophy in counseling grows from her own life and professional experiences, a fascination with human behavior and a genuine love for helping others. She believes in the importance of individual counseling as well as the effectiveness and power of groups. This belief includes providing a caring, safe, and equitable environment where a client can grow.

As an intern Geri's goal is to assist clients in discovering who they are so they can express their own opinions and nurture their own ideas. She hopes to help clients meet their fullest potential and develop a deep love and respect for themselves. Geri offers feedback, insight, and advice while allowing the clients to decide what is in their best interest.

Geri has worked for the State of Utah, Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS) and Department of Workforce Services (DWS). She now works at Weber State University as an Academic Advisor and as an intern in Services for Women Students.

Geri has lived in Utah all her life. She completed an Associates Degree at Weber State University, a Bachelors of Science in Family and Human Development at Utah State University and is now completing her internship for Masters of Science in Professional Mental Health Counseling at University of Phoenix.

Geri stays busy with her 3 daughters, her career and her home. She enjoys the outdoors, working in her yard, beading, scrap booking and learning. She loves spending time with her friends, family and her horses.

Meet Dr. Carol Hunter, PharmD Carol Hunter

Dr. Carol Hunter is our pharmaceutical consultant. When the counseling staff has questions or concerns regarding client's medication, Dr. Hunter offers valuable information. She discusses side effects, dosing schedules, and other questions that clients and counselors have. She also suggests questions that client's may ask of their primary care doctors. She is a valuable resource because when it comes to working with our doctors, we often do not know the questions to ask or how to express certain concerns about medication.
