Brett Brightwell

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and have worked with clients for close to a decade, through private practice. I work with individuals, couples, and groups. My experience includes: couples with children with special needs, couples working through issues involving infidelity or infertility, couples requiring help with communication, physical and emotional intimacy, pre-marital counseling, divorce, and any other issues that might arise in the midst of a relationship/partnership. I also work with individuals dealing with issues related to anxiety and/or depression, life transitions (“lifequakes”), postpartum mood disorders, job interview skills and communication, issues related to the work environment, sports performance, and much more. I have completed advanced training in Gottman Couples Therapy, Certification as an anxiety specialist, and Certification as a tele/video-mental health provider. I have also worked with individual clients receiving Ketamine Infusion treatments.

I want my clients to know that I believe that therapy involves a collaboration between the client/s and the therapist. If a client is not part of the decisions, the ideas, the relationship, and the motivation, achieving the desired change is much more difficult. I understand that being in a long term relationship of any kind (partnership, friendship, family relationship) can be difficult and I believe that everyone needs help navigating the obstacles that we are bound to encounter within relationships and life. I love being a part of that process. My role as a therapist is to collaborate with, empathize with, support, understand, and encourage my clients. I do this through face to face therapy as well as through distance therapy.

I run 2-3 adult therapy groups and they meet 1-2 times per month.
