Hello, my name is Brent, and I am a therapist with over a decade of experience specializing in men's health, trauma, and PTSD. I work with individuals aged 18-64, including veterans, military personnel, law enforcement, and first responders, who are dealing with depression, anxiety, anger, and adjustment issues. My approach is strengths-based and utilizes a range of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and techniques involving the vagal nerve. These methods empower individuals to navigate challenges, build resilience, and improve their quality of life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session, clients can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where we begin to build a therapeutic relationship. We'll start with an open discussion about their reasons for seeking therapy and any specific concerns they have. I will gather some background information to understand their personal history and current situation. This session is also an opportunity for clients to ask questions about the therapy process and discuss their goals. Together, we'll outline a preliminary plan for treatment, ensuring that they feel heard, respected, and comfortable moving forward with their therapeutic journey.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I strive to create a safe and comfortable space to assist you in best achieving your goals. Approaching and treating therapy as a tool to assist the individual gain the skills in order to identify and move past their obstacles.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Processing (CPT)

In my practice, I specialize in using a variety of evidence-based therapies to treat PTSD and trauma, focusing on men, particularly veterans and law enforcement personnel. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a key component of my approach, helping clients identify and challenge unhelpful beliefs related to their trauma. Additionally, I employ Solution Focused Brief Therapy to assist men in setting and achieving specific goals, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address patterns of thinking and behavior. I also integrate techniques involving the vagal nerve to support emotional regulation and resilience. These methods collectively empower men to reduce symptoms, process trauma, and enhance their quality of life.
