Carl S. Myers, MSW, ACSW, LSCSW, discovered the field of social work in 1969 through a volunteer experience in rural Southern Colorado. The notion that a person could dedicate himself to a professional career of helping people to resolve problems of living had a tremendous appeal to a young man who wanted to "make a difference" for other people. Mr. Myers has dedicated his career to that goal for over 35 years. Mr. Myers earned his BSW degree from Colorado State University in 1973. He moved to Salt Lake City, Utah where he worked as the Director of the South Salt Lake Community Action Program in a low income community setting. Mr. Myers entered the Graduate School of Social Work at the University of Utah in 1974 and while a graduate student was also employed as an academic adviser for the university, and later, as a staff member with the University of Utah Counseling Center. Mr. Myers completed his MSW degree in 1976. Mr. Myers was accepted as a Post-Masters Fellow in Psychiatric Social Work at the Menninger Foundation in Topeka in 1976. The Menninger School of Psychiatry was a multi-disciplinary post-graduate residency program and he immersed himself in the outstanding training resources and professional experiences available during this full-time year of post-graduate residency. Following his graduation from this program in 1977, Mr. Myers accepted an appointment to the full-time faculty in the social work department at Washburn University where he continues to serve as a tenured professor of social work. At the same time, Mr. Myers completed an additional two-year post-graduate training program in marital and family therapy at the Menninger Foundation, which was completed in 1979.		While developing his career as a social work educator, and working on post-graduate specialty training, Mr. Myers worked part-time as a therapist on the staff at Catholic Social Services through 1980. He also worked as the Executive Director of the Kansas Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers in professional association management before resuming private clinical practice in 1984. He joined Shadow Wood Clinical Associates in 1990 where he has enjoyed working with highly qualified professional colleagues who are also dedicated to the delivery of state of the art clinical psychiatric services. Mr. Myers provides counseling services to children, adults, marital couples, and families as a generalist practitioner. He has specific training, many years of clinical experience, and a special interest in providing private adoption assessment, parenting concerns with children (over age 6), school problems, and psychotherapy for the treatment of depression, stress, and anxiety. Mr. Myers is particularly adept in working with men’s issues including parenting/relationship conflict, and, stress-related concerns in the workplace. Mr. Myers is available for appointments on Tuesday and Thursday from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
