He earned his Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from CUNY, The City University of New York, Queens College.

Brett’s therapeutic style is welcoming, empowering, and collaborative. He creates a therapeutic environment that helps clients feel safe, comfortable, and understood. Brett believes it is important to first gain a clear understanding of what the client hopes to achieve in therapy and then work together in a way that effectively supports those goals. He is bilingual in English and Spanish, which enhances his ability to connect with and support individuals and their families. Brett is comfortable working with individuals, couples, families, and groups, and has experience treating clients with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, grief, relationship issues, and bipolar spectrum disorders. Rather than relying on a single orientation, Brett assesses each client’s needs and preferences and selects an approach or combination of approaches that best serve and support them. For example, with a client experiencing depression and low motivation, he may use solution-focused therapy to encourage initiative and empower the client to create their own solutions. For clients dealing with anxiety or substance abuse, he often employs CBT to increase awareness of stress-inducing thoughts and teach active strategies to challenge and change those thoughts. When working with couples who frequently argue, he might use DBT to foster mutual understanding, improve distress tolerance, and enhance emotional regulation. Alongside these modalities, Brett emphasizes a client-centered approach to ensure clients feel cared for, appreciated, and safe.
