All of us experience some confusion, anxiety, sadness, or conflict periodically, but if daily life becomes characterized by those feelings, something about life is out of balance. Do you feel stuck in a relationship or job, or troubled with negative, or fearful thoughts that won't go away? Sometimes we can loose a sense of hopefulness and pleasure about life. Perhaps we experienced a recent or far distant loss that left us floundering in sadness and grief. Maybe we have become weary searching for spiritual fulfillment, yet finding most ideas of a higher power to be disheartening or unbelievable.

"During difficult times I teach people how to better manage their lives and how to avoid feeling victimized by outside circumstances. I establish rapport easily with people and accept people exactly where they are. I create a safe, trusting environment in which a therapeutic relationship can develop. Counseling is an opportunity to learn new skills which may include: improving self-esteem, setting boundaries, making healthy decisions, managing stress and anxiety. As a person begins to have a healthier relationship with themselves, it allows them to take ownership of their life and manage it more productively. "

May 2024: I am currently accepting new clients! We all need connection. But sometimes making and maintaining connections is hard. When we’re dealing with difficult situations or trying to protect ourselves from pain, we can get distracted, distant, or shut down; in other words, disconnected. Whatever brought you here today, I invite you to consider whether feeling more connected - with your inner experiences, the important people in your life, or the activities you’re engaged in - could help.

Hi! My name is Brad Pankey. I enjoy helping clients who: (1 ) feel like their life is getting smaller over time; (2) think about food and/or their body all day; (3) feel stuck in their heads amongst a whirlwind of thoughts; (4) feel as though they are living a life that lacks meaning; (5) who feel trapped by needing to control every aspect of their life; and (6) are experiencing crushing grief and life transitions. Those who find success with me come ready for change and are open to something new in therapy. I may be for you if you enjoy cringy millennial humor, being challenged, and talking with a human rather than a wall.

I am a licensed psychologist and I specialize in helping people with ongoing symptoms of: complex post traumatic stress disorder, disordered eating, perfectionism, codependency, and anxiety disorders.
My unique approach to psychotherapy begins with you. I listen deeply to the narrative of your past, as well as the story you would like to live into. Your authentic life is one that can be cultivated through an active and creative healing process that centers self-discovery. We can work together to help you find a new relationship with embodiment by learning about your nervous system and what is stored there. Then, we gently move toward repatterning and awakening – aligning thoughts, feelings, and behavior with your true values. I integrate trauma theory, ART, depth psychology, attachment, existential, and anti-oppression lenses.

I have worked in a variety of treatment settings, most relevant being 3 years at Rainrock Treatment Center, a residential program for eating disorders.
I believe we each have within us all that we need in order to create the life we desire and that therapy is a collaborative effort between client and therapist to work towards creating this life. I see my role as a therapist to be one in which I inspire clients to open up to the possibilities within themselves and to support, challenge and hold them through that process. I also strongly believe that healing comes from addressing all parts of the self (emotional, physical and spiritual) and bringing these into alignment.

I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, and disordered eating.
My clients seek me out for many different reasons, including (but not limited to) mood, anxiety, and stress disorders; adjustment difficulties; and relationship and family-of-origin concerns. Sometimes, they just know they're stuck or lost and need help. I use evidence-based approaches (i.e., what we know to be effective with certain concerns) to help clients gain awareness of the interactions between their thoughts, feelings, and behavior; recognize the influences that have shaped these patterns; and develop the knowledge and skills to respond, rather than react, to them.

I specialize in disordered eating, body image, and the impact of weight stigma, with a focus on life transitions, such as pregnancy, postpartum and perimenopause/menopause.
You may find yourself caught in tiring patterns with food or feeling uneasy in your body, carrying layers of shame, self-doubt, or expectations that no longer fit. Perhaps you’re navigating a significant life transition—such as perimenopause, pregnancy, or the postpartum period—and noticing shifts in your body, mood, or sense of who you are.
Therapy can be a space to slow down and make sense of these experiences. Over time, it may become possible to relate to your body with greater compassion, rebuild trust in yourself, and move through daily life with more steadiness, ease, and self-acceptance.

What happens in therapy for eating disorders?
In therapy for eating disorders, patients typically describe their eating and exercise behaviors, their patterns of eating in relation to stress, their beliefs about their body, the ways their eating behavior affects their relationships, and their desire (or lack of it) to change. Such information helps the therapist understand the origins of the disorder and the role it plays in the patient’s life, important for guiding treatment. Attitudes and feelings about food and eating, body weight, and physical appearance are common topics of discussion throughout treatment.
What therapy types help with eating disorders?
Once any acute medical or psychiatric emergency is resolved, psychoactive medication is often prescribed, requiring the supervision of a psychiatrist. In addition, patients receive some form of nutritional counseling along with one or more forms of psychotherapy. For adolescents, family-based treatment is empirically validated and considered the first line of treatment; parents and their children meet weekly with a clinician as the adults are coached on how to nourish and psychologically support the young patient. Adults typically receive some form of individual psychotherapy, intended to resolve the cognitive and behavioral disturbances that underlie the disorder and to relieve the mood disturbances that accompany it. In addition, patients may also be helped by group therapy.
What is the goal of therapy for eating disorders?
The most immediate goal of treatment for eating disorders is to save the life of people who are on a path of starving themselves to death or engaging in eating patterns that are doing irreparable physical harm to their body. Once the acute medical danger is past, therapy is required to understand the nature of the disordered eating and/or exercise patterns, establish healthy eating behavior, and to tackle the many erroneous beliefs and distorted self-perceptions that underlie eating disorders and continue to pose a threat to health and life. Therapy also addresses the impaired mood that not only accompanies eating disorders but intensifies the danger to health and life.
What are the limitations of therapy for eating disorders?
Therapy can be very helpful for eating disorders—but that can happen only after people recognize they have a condition that must be treated. Especially with anorexia, the distortions in self-image that accompany the disorder can keep people from acknowledging they have a problem. Individuals may in fact see their eating disorder as a badge of self-control. Those with binge-eating disorder may feel too ashamed to seek help. Therapy cannot help those who do not avail themselves of it.
How long does therapy last for eating disorders?
Because of their complexity, recovery from eating disorders is usually a long-term process—measured in months and years— often marked by setbacks and relapse. Some form of help, such as individual or group therapy, may be advisable for much of that time. It is a general rule of thumb that the longer the illness has endured and the dysregulated eating behavior has taken root, the longer treatment is likely to be needed.
