Hello! I’m Brandt

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

One of the most difficult tasks in serving others is helping feel understood so that they can  clearly set the aim and intentions of how service will benefit them.  In my clinical practice and in clinical supervision, the focus is setting the foundation of being understood and aligning our intention is fundamental in our work together.  What makes this task so challenging is the complexity of the stories that have brought us together.   One of the strengths I bring to our adventure is the ability to break down complex narratives into linear stories by applying a multitude of psychological, developmental, biological, and neurological theories to create deeper understanding of how life has been brought you to this point.  Together we will analyze how your story fits together, we can create a shared vision of where you hope to go and what would be proper modalities of intervention to help you get there.  The underpinning belief that I hold, is that once someone feels and knows that they are understood, it is the catalyst need to utlize their  capacity for growth. 

Over the last 21 years I have worked with children, families, parents, adults in community based settings, homes, school based settings, juvenile hall, substance abuse clinic, private practice, and residential facilities.  Over the past 12 years I  have had the privilege to coach, mentor, guide, and assist in the development of clincians, rehabilitation staff, clinical supervisors, student interns, residential staff, and parent partners.  I have found the most joy in helping others develop their connection with their authentic self in whatever capacity they serve others.  I have watched amazing people recognize their potential and take intentional steps towards creating the life they have always wanted.  I have been able to watch people get promoted, get licensed, deal with challenging clients, expand their belief of who they could be and actualize that belief.  I look forward to watching you maximize your potential!
