Adam Brandt

I specialize in providing individual therapy to adults, young adults, and teenagers through life-transitions, depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive concerns, social skills development, identity development, and existential/spiritual/religious concerns. I draw upon acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients take action toward living a meaningful life. Acceptance and commitment therapy teaches clients to develop a different relationship with their mental health concerns in a way that allows them to exercise psychological flexibility and commit to their personal values. I work with clients to clearly define and commit to their values while building mindfulness skills (meditation & diffusion techniques). I believe that a healthy mind is not the absence of distress but the ability to tolerate distress while pursuing a meaningful life. I challenge and support clients while using a holistic, strength-based approach. I develop a healthy, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship with clients. I’m attentive to respecting, affirming, and honoring people from all walks of life and identities. I believe in putting my clients in control of their own values and life path. Lastly, I love getting to know my clients and seeing them for more than just their mental health concerns.
