Whether you're dealing with the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or job-or experiencing a difficult life transition- know that your situation does not define you, and that it's possible to not only stand up amidst the storms that rage around you...but to emerge even stronger than before. I know because I've been there, and I'm here to stand with you.

Hello, Let me introduce myself. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), as well as licensed School Psychologist here in New Jersey and in Montana. My path in life has pass through several different careers; I was a New York City school teacher, New Jersey School Psychologist, and currently working as a psychotherapist. Although trained to treat a variety of disorders, my passion lies in treating individuals who have suffered trauma and attachment based issues. I am trained in EMDR and hypnosis, as well as DBT. In all my experience I have learned that it is truly the relationship between therapist and client that matters most.

Dr. Brennan believes that therapy is a place where people learn the tools they need to cope with stressors life has thrown at them. Her goal is to guide and educate you through your journey towards healing. Therapy does not need to take forever, you can heal and move forward quickly with the right guidance. Dr. Brennan approaches treatment from a holistic approach, preferring to treat patients as a whole, instead of focusing on symptoms which may be related to a larger problem. This means including nutrition and exercise in the treatment plan in addition to more traditional CBT and ACT techniques.

People usually come to me wanting and needing change relatively quickly for their issues related to drugs and alcohol, eating, or as concerned family members. People often feel some shame, or a lot of it, around their problems. I have had success in orienting people to these problems and motivating them to find their way to hope, happiness, and a "recovered" life. Raising a person's true self-confidence is usually a part of the treatment. No two people are exactly alike so I adapt to the counseling needs of my clients. These are treatable issues, so seek help!

All therapy stems from the building of a relationship -- a partnership -- between the therapist and the client. There can be no progress or client satisfaction without trust and that trust can be life changing and last long after the therapy has concluded. I have worked with countless numbers of children, adolescents and adults who began treatment filled with guilt, worry and stress. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than to see them over time shed those negative emotions and step back into life with the tools necessary to become successful and empathetic individuals.

I am a licensed professional counselor with 9 years of experience working with adults and trauma. Through out these years my clients have taught me the importance of seeing them as a whole human; not just their symptoms/ presenting issues. My training has taught me to view my client's symptoms/ presenting issues as an "Answer to" childhood attachment longings. My goal is to provide you the opportunity to start to do what is underdeveloped; which is allowing Your True Authentic Self to shine! With the client's I have the privilege of working with this is often the goal they did not know they longed for.

You can help yourself become healthier and happier. As an experienced psychologist, I enjoy working collaboratively with adults and couples to achieve this goal. I value these clients as individuals and approach them in a caring, nonjudgmental way. Although my training has provided me with a wide variety of tools, my experience has taught me which tools are most likely to help in any given situation. Some approaches I use are: psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, behavioral, and interpersonal. In addition, I believe in educating clients about the therapy process so that they can be a partner in their own treatment.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
