Hello, my name is Brenda Ishmael and I have been a Mental Health and Spiritual Counselor since 2004. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and work/life challenges. I have also incorporated my formal training with my spiritual understanding to assist client who are seeking answers/understanding to their spiritual questions. My counseling style is high energy, engaging, and assisting the client in understanding their thoughts, beliefs, and actions. I believe in treating everyone with compassion and humility on a non-judgmental basis
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and reality therapy. During every session I give you 100% of myself and during that time, my client is my top priority.
I applaud you for seeking to have a better understanding of the life issues that you are facing. My wish for you is to be the best possible version of yourself. Your life should not be just existing from day-to-day, but living! I am here to help you with the challenges you are now facing. I look forward to working with you!
