Brendan Conn

I am a licensed professional counselor dedicated to helping patients ages 15 and up take charge of their mental health. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), prioritizing building meaningful therapeutic relationships that result in effective change. My approach is built on strong rapport, multiculturalism, and unconditional positive regard. A key belief that guides my understanding is that all people are deserving of an opportunity to heal. With this philosophy in mind over the years, I have helped patients manage distressing thoughts that impact social and occupational life, improve self-esteem and positive self-talk, practice new communication strategies to improve relationships, and reduce urges and cravings to promote recovery. While in my care, you can expect a structured and inviting environment that utilizes unconditional positive regard and cognitive restructuring to enhance your mental well-being. This could be internal, like self-esteem, negative thinking patterns, or mood instability. Or external, like social relationships, occupational anxieties, or family dynamics. No matter the focus, I believe in building trust as a core component to therapy. This helps cultivate an environment conducive to positive change. I value getting to know you on a deeper level to ensure a strong therapeutic relationship. Counseling theories are important, but what is most important to me is that you feel seen and heard in each session.
