Getting to know Brenda Bridges

Hi there, I'm Brenda! I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Massachusetts. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I also genuinely provide support and hope, especially when life feels overwhelming. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive counseling. I customize our conversations and treatment to fit your individual situation. I have worked with clients facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting challenges, and career obstacles. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. Additionally, I work with the military population to address PTSD, military culture, and mental illnesses. My communication style is warm, interactive, respectful, and professional. When working with me, you will feel safe to be vulnerable and share your journey. Having served in the US Marine Corps, I have used my personal and career experiences to help individuals overcome challenges and stressors. I love connecting with people from diverse backgrounds and learning about their unique journeys. Sometimes, we feel lost in our own world and need someone who truly cares to offer a fresh perspective. My military service led me to counseling, and because of my passion for this work, I continually educate myself on emerging therapies and psychological trends to provide the most comprehensive care tailored to each client's needs. My goal is to work alongside you to explore and set realistic goals and develop a plan to achieve them.
