I'm Brenda Naftel, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 18 years of experience dedicated to supporting young and older adults on their life journeys. I specialize in addressing a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, domestic violence, couples' therapy, and grief. I earned my Master of Education (MEd) at Auburn Montgomery, where I developed a strong foundation in therapeutic techniques.
My approach primarily utilizes cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to tailor sessions to the unique needs of each client. Throughout life, we all encounter challenges, and having someone to accompany us can make a significant difference.
I would be honored to be that support for you, offering a safe space to express your thoughts and feelings. Together, we will explore coping strategies and develop tools to navigate your journey with resilience and hope. I'm here to listen, understand, and help you move toward a more fulfilling life.
