New to Grow
Hello! My name is Bridgett Sullivan, and I'm glad you're here. My areas of specialty include grief, loss, post-traumatic stress, depression and anxiety. Over the years, I've supported adolescents, adults of all ages, couples, and families as they've faced challenges and found their way through. It is a privilege to witness clients move beyond 'survival mode' and start thriving again.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
My approach is client-centered. The modalities I use include trauma-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, psychodynamic, and solution-focused methods. I receive referrals from medical practitioners, former clients, educators, and other counselors. You will leave your first session with practical tools and resources that you can use right now.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Before becoming a counselor, I worked for many years as a teacher, school and college counselor. I am very good at quickly developing rapport and helping clients feel more at ease. I have advanced training in trauma-focused therapy and EMDR. Clients tell me that they appreciate the many, varied resources I share with them to use outside of our sessions.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
In my office, I welcome adults of all ages, backgrounds, and orientations. Clients appreciate my open, kind, compassionate, and direct style. I offer free 20-minute introductory sessions so you can ask questions and see if we are a good fit.

Person-centered (Rogerian)
