Attachment-based Therapists in Brattleboro, VT

Hello, I'm Jimmy and I am a couple and relationship therapist. I also specialize in working with folks identifying within alternative sexualities and relationship structures. All services are through a telehealth/virtual format. I only accept private-pay. I do not take insurance, but I can provide superbills for clients wanting to use their out-of-network benefits for reimbursement. I want to make my services as accessible as possible. If you are needing a reduced rate, lets set up a consultation where you can ask me about my sliding scale.

I'm a newly-minted social worker, but I have decades of experience motivating creative people to chase their dreams--writers, artists, artisans, tradespeople, farmers, and philosophers, I'm here for you!

I am a LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family therapist with 13 years of working with adults and families with depression, anxiety, blended family issues and BiPolar disorder. During these difficult times many people are suffering with depression and anxiety. I can help you lower your anxiety and improve your coping skills. Many people have experienced trauma in their families and I can help you process your trauma. I have worked with many adults who grew up with alcoholic or substance abusing parents. My clients see quick results due to my extensive experience.

Accepting New Clients. It is within safety and connection that we heal. I believe in the importance of creating a warm, non-judgmental, and safe therapeutic space, and a relationship in which you feel supported, understood, and heard. Client’s that I work with often struggle with self-esteem, navigating relational challenges, coping with distressing experiences, as well as feeling connected to and/or expressing their authentic self. Together, we will explore your concerns and help you grow towards greater self-understanding, improvements in the quality and intimacy of your relationships, confidence, self-compassion, and well-being.

I have worked as a personal counselor since 1986 and as a licensed clinical social worker since 2004. I am a solution-focused therapist who listens deeply to my clients, then engages each in a true two-way conversation. Whether I'm seeing adults, older adolescents, or couples, I treat my clients respectfully. We focus on the issue at hand, work to understand the history and causes behind it, then together implement steps to bring change quickly. I don't draw out therapy. Most of my clients see me for six to eight weekly sessions, moving to less and less frequent sessions as their confidence and life satisfaction increase.

Do you need a relationship TUNE-UP or need to address BIG CHALLENGES in your relationship/marriage? Do you wonder: How do we create more closeness? What can we do about fighting about the same things over and over again, without resolution? How can we listen better to each other? Is there hope for us? Most of us never received the information and support we need to have successful healthy relationships. No wonder so many of us end up finding relationships to be problematic, confusing, unfulfilling and painful! I help couples find their way out of confusion, distance or painful dynamics to find clarity, closeness and enduring love.
