Arnold Brenner

I have been blessed with work that I continue to love after 45 years as Psychoanalyst. I have experience working with all ages, and have found that acceptance is the greatest tool. My earlier work with young children in play therapy has taught me to help my clients more clearly define their feelings without passing judgement. Emotions can be over powering, and through our work together my clients gain the mindset to face any adversity that may come up. Transitioning from phases of life or states of mind can be overwhelming. It can cause a lot of anxiety, which may lead to depression and indecision. Therapy is a trip that I take together with my patients in which we explore their story, problems, hopes, fears, dreams, & aspirations. I direct my patients in understanding that feelings are not something to be afraid of , but instead accept as a natural part of the human condition. I am not a silent listener & will share my observations when appropriate. With my patients I help them to define their needs. As my clients grow in awareness of themselves, their self esteem grows as well. Watching my patients feel better about themselves makes my work as a therapist worthwhile. It is extremely rewarding to see patients learn how to deal with their problems effectively through our sessions together.
