Brianna Puetz, Licensed Professional Counselor, MS

I support clients who want to change persistent beliefs about not being good enough, heal from their past, and build more connection, joy, and fulfillment in life. Many of my clients initially come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed by self-critical or anxious thoughts, and wanting more confidence navigating emotions, relationships, and everyday stressors. I believe meaningful therapy happens through genuine human connection. My approach is grounded in a compassionate therapeutic relationship that is client-centered and supportive, with gentle challenge when it’s helpful. My work integrates several evidence-based therapies, mindfulness-based approaches, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Therapy is goal-oriented, combining exploration, processing, and skill-building. Together, we address patterns and underlying factors contributing to your concerns, build a kinder relationship with yourself, and develop practical tools and insight to navigate life with more confidence moving forward. I welcome you to reach out for a free consultation.

EMDR Therapy: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an evidence-based therapy that can help process distressing experiences, and shift long-held negative beliefs. EMDR is integrated thoughtfully and collaboratively based on each client’s readiness and goals. Some clients may also pursue EMDR as a stand alone therapy. Individual Therapy: Therapy for adults seeking support, insight, and meaningful change for a variety of concerns. My work integrates several evidence-based approaches depending on each client’s needs and goals. Sessions are goal-oriented while still allowing space for exploration and processing. • Increase awareness of recurring patterns • Develop emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills • Process emotions and engage in self exploration • Practice behavioral and problem-solving strategies • Improve communication and boundaries • Clarify values that guide decision making • Develop present-moment awareness of inner experiences • Explore and cultivate fulfillment and meaning
