Janie Brynolf
The great poet Rumi wrote "out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there." That field is a space where calm, love and forgiveness exist. There is no judgement, only acceptance here. And in that soul space you are free to find those fragments of you that are lost, and begin to piece them back together. I'm licensed in both Florida and Michigan. As a licensed clinical therapist and licensed substance abuse counselor, I have experience running very powerful substance abuse and co-occurring groups. Prior to that, I worked as a social worker in Flint, Michigan for many years as a therapist, caseworker and in crisis intervention. My experiences have given me such a rich experience and exposure to the many factors that contribute to our personal mental health and well-being. I've been fortunate to work with people in their homes, in the community, with their families as well as the private practice setting which have given me a much richer experience than just an of an office setting alone.

First session
In my first session with you I really take the time to get to know you. I like an hour 1/2 for our first session. I feel like this gives us a strong starting place to build a relationship to move forward with.
Strengths
I'm NOT a by the book kind of girl! I use cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, REBT, behavioral therapy, eye movement therapy (like EMDR only different)... but mostly what we're going to use is what is going to work for you with where you are at. And that can change day to day on this crazy journey called life. Spirituality: whether we need to pray or talk about your sun sign being affected by Mercury retrograde, I'll go where you need to go.
Ideal clients
I work a lot with depression, anxiety, narcissitic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, PTSD.
