Sometimes life experiences can be overwhelming and paralyzing, with moments of not being able to function in healthy ways. This type of dysfunction can make you feel stuck with no apparent way to move forward, resulting in unhealthy behaviors, cognitions, and emotions. Fortunately, there is a way forward. Mental health counseling has been scientifically proven to be effective in helping to reduce and eliviate symptomologies related to these areas. If you or someone you know are experiencing dysfunction either spiritually, emotionally, behaviorally, or psychologically we can work together to help you identify and achieve your goals.

Hello, My name is Kenneth Bryant and I am a Deaf Licensed Mental Health Counselor who provides culturally responsive and affirming counseling services for Deaf, DeafDisabled, DeafBlind, Hard-of-hearing Clients. I provide individual and couples therapy services through private practice and through agencies.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Do you wish that you could change the past? Are you anxious about things on the horizon? Do you need help moving forward because you simply feel stuck? Are you a parent whose child is dealing with issues that they either won't share or that you struggle to help them with? For over eight years I've helped people experience a better quality of life that answered yes to one or all of these questions. My passions are assisting parents with expanding their coping repertoire, helping couples and families hear each other, and assisting children in finding their voices after traumatic events.

If you are looking for someone with a diverse background with many years of experience. I am here to help. I have worked with a variety of people with diverse issues.

Are you feeling “some kind of way”, unsettled in yourself, or having a difficult time identifying how to navigate through your world. You are not alone. We all encounter times when the life we are living becomes overwhelming and we wish for someone to hear the things we are feeling inside but are unable to express. We are looking to understand why these things are happening to us, and how to feel at peace with ourselves. We want to know that these negative feelings will not always be with us. No, I do not have a magic wand that will solve all your worries.What I offer is the opportunity to listen to your story and help you develop

What’s stopping you from being free? Yes, I know, everything happens for a reason but how you grow from that anxiety, that depression, or family conflict you have and are experiencing is completely up to you. Now is the time to move from just existing to truly living. Sometimes in life, because of hardships that we face or people that we are connected to, we lose focus on being the best version of ourselves, but through therapy we can explore that process. I would love to be a part of your journey to total healing.

I use an eclectic counseling model of motivational interviewing, cognitive behavior therapy, psycho-dynamic therapy, and pastoral soul care as a way to address the cognitive blocks that may be causing you biological, psychological, social, and/or spiritual distress. I engage the mind,body and soul in the therapeutic process.

CBT, DBT, Reality Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, I use them all. I pride myself on building strong therapeutic rapport with my clients, and my ability to empathize with them on issues they are dealing with daily are my strongest qualities. Depression, grief\loss, anxiety-GAD, PTSD, trauma, conflict management, peer pressure, ADHD, and behavioral problems are issues within my scope that I assist with. Decreasing negative symptoms and helping each client and his/her family live healthier lives is the ultimate goal. I have an eclectic approach to dealing with each client so that everyone’s treatment is individualized.

My ideal client is someone who wants to improve specific areas in their life. They simply want to Get Better!

Protect Your Mind. It is very important that people protect their mind. If we do not protect our mind, we will open our mind to gravitate towards anxiety, stress, worry, complaining,frustration anger, and physical illness to things of the world that the average person cannot control. Within this present time I am offering consultation and teaching to address how to cope with the uncertainty of the unknown. This time period of uncertainty within our world will pass and a healthy mind will make this process much easier and more effective for the greater well being.

I’ve been in the mental health field for over 20 years and have been providing clinical care since 2011. I’ve worked with first responders crisis settings and provided services to first responders in a therapeutic environment. I work a lot with domestic violence, sexual trauma, and human trafficking. I pull from several modalities including CBT, trauma-focused CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, solutions focused, strength-based, and reality therapy. I like working with people who are motivated to improve their lives. Because I work with such a wide range of issues, I can be helpful and supportive in many different areas.

My goal is to help clients reach their full potential beyond the chaos of everyday life. As a psychotherapist, a Cognitive-Behavioral approach is used to navigate self-exploration and real life goal setting while filtering through difficulties. Believing that your health and wellness is valuable regardless of all else allows me to provide effective therapeutic services through humor, understanding and compassion. Your story could be one of living with mental illness or maybe you have hit a rough patch filled with uncertainty. When life has given you a dump truck filled with lemons together we will make lemonade!

As a Counselor I seek to guide, encourage and assist individuals through difficult or uncertain times in their lives. Learning how to navigate through relationships to feel more connected to ourselves and to others can seem daunting. Clients should expect there to be freedom and openness in a safe environment. It is my desire that those who enter into the counseling relationship should also find keys to understanding themselves and skills to cope with the various issues that may bring them there. Counseling is a helping relationship. It is a place where trust and mutual respect abide.

I specialize in working with clients who are battling issues with depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD, grief and loss, substance use, relationships, medical issues and difficulty coping with chronic health (kidney disease, cancer, etc), effects of trauma, feelings of worthlessness, being lost in life, self esteem, self love, goal setting, finding solutions, loneliness, and employment. I also help people who just need to vent and get it out (talk therapy). I also specialize in helping people use assertive communication to help better communication with others for the betterment of themselves for the present and the future.

With over ten years of experience working with adolescents, couples, and individuals, I am committed to empowering others to be resilient. Sometimes in life, circumstances can become overwhelming and somewhat challenging. You do not have to go through it alone. I will partner with you in self-exploration and discovery of the meaning and purpose in your struggles. I aspire to assist you with self-awareness and working towards desired goals for healing, growth, and optimal wellness.

As you find yourself stepping into a new journey, it's easy to also find yourself overwhelmed with all of your "hats" that seem to be any combination of marriage, divorce, career changes, grief, or parenthood. So many of our daily habits are shaped around how our bodies respond to stress, past trauma, and unhealthy coping patterns, yet all of our roles leave us with little time actually to deal with them. Our time together could give you time to sit with all of YOU. We can work together to practice healthy ways to respond to our emotions as they come and get you closer to living a life rooted in acceptance and confidence.
