“‘Why should I listen to my heart?’” “‘Because you'll never again be able to keep it quiet. Even if you pretend not to have heard what it tells you, it will always be there inside you, repeating to you what you’re thinking about life & about the world. You will never be able to escape from your heart.’” The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I've had the privilege to assist individuals to grow through curiosity into deeper awareness of their thoughts, limiting beliefs, and identification of any root issues. I enjoy assisting individuals to reconnect with the core of who they were created to be, before the world and trauma had their impacts.

I integrate narrative, somatic, ACT, DBT, and CBT tools to support increased insight, awareness, and meaningful lasting change.
I work with adult individuals (20+) and partners in relationships who are emotionally attuned but often exhausted—due to chronic overfunctioning, people-pleasing, or feeling disconnected from their own feelings and needs. Many carry relational wounds, identity pain, and/or the fearful beliefs that they are “too much” or “not enough”. My deepest calling is to support people in reclaiming the parts of themselves that have never felt fully seen, understood, or celebrated. I believe healing begins in spaces where we can slow down, feel safe enough to be witnessed in our rawness, and build more honest connections—with others and within.

Hi I'm Brynnie (Brin-ee). I'm a pre-licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a Master's degree from the University of St. Thomas. I have experience working with addiction, depression, and anxiety. My goal is to create a safe environment for you to take up space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It can be a complicated process to adjust to the difficulties life throws at us; and when we are forced to undergo a situation that requires us to demonstrate strength, those times can change how we view the world and keep us from feeling like the person we want to be. My aim is to ease that transition.

I focus on individual therapy for adults integrating various modalities including mind-body practices, cognitive reframing, self-acceptance, attachment theory, self-care/behavioral strategies and other therapy methods.
Individuals find their way to therapy for many reasons. Perhaps you are suffering the stress of a relationship breakup, loss of a job, death of a loved one or parenting pressures. Or, maybe you've decided it's time to address a long-standing issue that is interfering with life satisfaction. It could be as specific as an unresolved childhood trauma or as general as nagging doubts about your self-worth or a feeling that you're not living your life in ways consistent with your core beliefs.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
