My name is Brette Genzel Derman. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and CEO/Founder of Innovative Group Psychotherapy, Inc (IGP). I have over 25 years of experience helping children, adolescents, and adults grow through life’s challenges and find a greater sense of balance, confidence, and connection.
My work is grounded in psychodynamic theory and evidence-based practices, such as EMDR—but I also know that words aren’t always enough. That’s why I integrate the expressive arts into my work. These tools can access healing and self-expression in powerful ways.
With children and teens, I create a warm, safe, and engaging space to explore emotions, build resilience, and develop coping strategies in creative ways. With adults, I take a collaborative, personalized approach—helping you uncover patterns, build insight, and reconnect to your strengths. I bring compassion, experience, and commitment to your goals.
Therapy with me is never one-size-fits-all. It’s a dynamic, supportive process built around who you are—and who you want to become.
If you’re ready to take the next step for your child, your family, or yourself, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Acoustic Youth
Acoustic Youth is a fifteen-week group therapy modality that combines music and mentoring, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness to empower teens. Each group member is encouraged to write and record a song about something in their life they would like to gain mastery over. The group's mission is for teenagers to develop resiliency through a fun and creative process. Group members find their inner voice through a variety of musical exercises and group discussions, all of which culminate in an empowering and healing experience.
