LPC, 8 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
Hi there! I'm a Licensed counselor for CO, NC, and DC. I received my Master's Degree in 2007 and have spent a good bit of my career in crisis and residential settings before transitioning to direct care. I help adults who have experienced adverse events and or trauma to heal and begin to live their lives in a more peaceful way.
In our first session together we will complete an intake to help gather valuable information that will guide us in our work together
Having experience in working with trauma and adverse life situations has allowed me to use my skills to help people move past negative experiences that may be holding them back from living a peaceful and productive life
I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and really focus on helping them heal from any adverse life situations they may have experienced by using a combination of EMDR and talk therapy
I am an EMDRIA Certified EMDR therapist and have used EMDR to help clients process and heal from traumatic and/or adverse life experiences for the past 3 years and find it extremely effective.
I use CBT to help individuals recognize how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can interact and influence each other to hopefully change the thinking pattern and reduce discomfort.
I use DBT on helping individuals manage intense emotions and improve relationships. DBT uses mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to assist individuals with learning how to balance and regulate emotions to ultimately promote balance.

She's been awesome! Brenda really takes the time to learn about you and makes sure you're both comfortable before diving into anything. 10/10

Brenda is a great match for what I am going through in life currently. She doesn't say what you want her to say she says what you need to hear, which helps reassure that I am making the correct choices in my life. What you need to hear isn't always the easiest path in life but it is the path that helps you make your life better in the long run.

I like the idea of trying EMDR which is new to me.
