Brenden @ the mend

 I work with clients ages 10+, primarily with problems related to ADHD, depression,

anxiety, low self-esteem and parental/peer conflict. Therapy with me is action-based

and goal-centered. It takes a dual focus on tackling current problems to produce

immediate results, combined with a longer-term focus on building the future you want

for yourself. To keep things light while we work together, we play games, listen to music,

draw, color, paint, and walk and talk when the weather’s right. I cook people in Uno for a

living. Make no mistake, my style is warm, but no mercy will be shown. Bring your A

game.

If you like therapeutic jargon, please enjoy this paragraph. If not, maybe ask ChatGPT

to summarize it? During sessions, we use a blend of evidence-based techniques

borrowed from popular frameworks like solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive

behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing. We set goals together, determine

action steps, overcome barriers to success, and establish clear purpose and motivation

for goal achievement. You will learn skills that are practical and relevant to your

treatment plan on topics like ADHD, executive functioning, effective communication,

interpersonal conflict, emotional regulation, and impulse control. Sessions are

client-centered, strengths-based, and grounded in core values of warmth, genuineness,

positivity, empathy, and respect.

Empathetic, chill, funny, sometimes unprofessional. Ask me about my pet Monkey. Diehard

sports fan. I swear, if I was only two feet taller, I’d be playing in the NBA right now.

While nomadically moving up and down the East Coast, from MA to CT to Nova Scotia to FL to

NC, I learned something really important. Everybody, everywhere, needs some sort of support.

Yet, not everybody gets it when they need it. The world is full of good people who want you to

succeed; I’m one of those people. Smash that big blue button at the bottom for a free

consultation so we can move forward. The vibe is casual; the focus is on you living your best

life, present and future. When we meet, please relax, be yourself, and get comfortable. It’s the

best way to approach therapy.
