Carey is a Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience and the founder of both Thrive Wyoming and High Point Counseling, a mental health practice established in 2016. Originally a Wyoming transplant, Carey has come to love the state and proudly calls it home. Thrive Wyoming was born from Carey’s desire to give back and address the mental health challenges faced by individuals across the state—especially those in rural communities or struggling to afford care. After attending a suicide awareness event with Governor Gordon in the fall of 2024, Carey felt a renewed sense of purpose to take action. Outside of work (which Carey jokingly calls a favorite hobby), Carey enjoys spending time with his wife and two children.
