Getting to know Brenna Gatimu

Creating change can be a difficult first step, but you are here. And I am so glad that you are! I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I welcome you to reach out whenever you feel ready to begin. I’m here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself. Let's make growth happen together. My approach I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. I also use Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help identify and reshape unhelpful behaviors. This approach is hands-on and gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. Based on your unique needs, I may adapt my approach to include practices like mindfulness. Your goals and progress are my primary focus. Together, we’ll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence. My focus I love to work with teens and adults. Whether you are managing anxiety, life transitions, or are seeking support for self-esteem issues. Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I’ll work with you to create a plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient. I will ask hard questions, but my only intention is to understand and help you understand. My journey to mental healthcare I started school with a dream to do something different than counseling. I knew I wanted to help others, but in what capacity I wasn't sure. I quickly figured it out and found that I was very fascinated by human theories and what made people how they are or how they work.
