Jennifer Brigman
Hello and welcome to Grow Therapy! My name is Jennifer. I'm a licensed therapist, clinical supervisor and registered nurse with a 17+ year background in helping people navigate the ups and downs of life.
I use an integrated mind-body-relational approach (including somatic interventions), and employ systemic and Jungian theories, and inter- and transpersonal psychologies, among others.
I am diversely trained and experienced, and ultimately specialize in relationship trauma, family estrangement, narcissistic and/or scapegoat abuse, domestic violence, and codependency/complex-post traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD). I use an integrated mind-body-relational approach (including somatic interventions), and employ systemic and Jungian theories, and inter- and transpersonal psychologies, among others. My practice is trauma-informed. I specialize in helping people overcome symptoms stemming from dysfunctional or abusive relationships, whether familial, romantic or at work. I support clients to overcome a lack of self-love, self-forgiveness and toxic shame. Together, we build confidence, emotional literacy, self-trust, personal resiliency, empowerment and identity. You'll receive holistic and practical interventions that promote self-awareness and empowerment, and body-mind integration that interrupts unhelpful patterns. I look forward to meeting you!
First session
We will start with getting to know each other. Nothing is off-limits as far as concerns to bring up or questions to ask. We will discuss the factors that will ensure your success, including how to get the most out of your efforts and our time together.
Strengths
Though I have a very diverse educational and professional portfolio, compassion is my greatest strength, hands down. I love people and also love helping people.
Ideal clients
I'm a good fit for those who are struggling to understand themselves as well as those who continue to meet obstacles in creating the kind of lives and relationships they'd like. Presenting concerns may include (C)PTSD/trauma, anxiety, depression, intense anger, difficulty coping with life's transitions, challenges within relationships, and poor body image (with or without eating concerns).
Treatment methods
Trauma-Informed Care
I am a specialist in abuse recovery, particularly narcissistic and scapegoat abuse. Abuse is a relational trauma resulting in C-PTSD, which is my primary expertise.
Eclectic
In addition to being a therapist with 17 years of experience, I am a registered nurse, educator and yoga teacher. I use interpersonal, CBT, ACT, DBT, NLP, Jungian psychology, compassion-focused, somatic and value-based theories primarily. I bring each of these areas of expertise to my sessions and will employ any means I (or you) may find helpful in guiding your understanding and ultimately resolving the concerns you have.
Mind-body approach
I am a registered nurse and also have a certification in yoga for behavioral health. In addition to my knowledge of health and the human body, my practice includes interventions and techniques derived from yogic, polyvagal and psychosomatic theories. These types of therapy include physical interventions, or exercises, including simple yoga asanas (poses), breath work, sound-making, meditation, self-massage and stretches to enhance your sense of connection to and safety within your body. These techniques are wonderful for anyone with a trauma history, clients wishing to reduce general anxiety and/or depression and those who find "talk therapy" triggering, unhelpful or occasionally overwhelming.
