Getting to know Bernadette Brennecke

I've been in private practice for about 50 years. I have helped thousands of induvial, couples, and families move through issues and challenges they've encountered. My approach The approach I use is client-centered, empathetic, and solution-focused, with some insights as to how the issues are presented in their lives. My focus Most clients I work with are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transition issues, marital and family conflicts, and trauma. My communication style I create a safe, supportive, and educational environment so the client is able to develop insights into what needs to change so they can move forward into the future. My journey to mental healthcare I was admitted to an all-male college as a minority female at 17, and assisted with program development for the next 6 years in undergraduate and graduate programs. I went to a variety of intern placements and discovered an interest in clinical work. For 42 years, I've developed a private practice that includes a holistic experiential workshop. My goals for you By doing an assessment and clarifying what isn't working. I invite the client to explore different resources and insights into problem-solving. My first session with you I utilize active listening to understand the client's needs and goals that are unique to them. I provide the client with a road map to a unique plan that facilitates well-being and growth.
