First session

In our first session, you can expect a calm and supportive conversation focused on getting to know you. I’ll ask about what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any concerns you’d like to address. We’ll talk through your history at a pace that feels comfortable for you and begin identifying the areas you want to work on. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported as we create a plan for your care together.

Brendalan is a an exception therapist. Her "straight no chaser" approach brings acceptance to each session. She is able to help me and my wife understand each other better without picking side. She challenges us to approach each other with more grace and understanding. Brendalan helps us recognize triggers and gives us helpful tools to help us not go down paths that lead to negative results.
