Getting to know Thomas Brent
Hi there, I'm Thomas! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 42 years of experience. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the State University of New York, Buffalo. Over the years, I have worked with a variety of issues, including addiction, sexual and physical trauma, PTSD, depression and anxiety, low self-esteem, Veteran's concerns, and couple/relationship problems.
My approach
With a broad background in various psychotherapy treatments, I tailor my approach to the needs of each individual. Some people struggle with stressful life events, while others have difficulty even defining what bothers them. Many couples face a lack of emotional connection, leading to feelings of isolation and despair. Recreating that emotional connection and intimacy is an important focus of treatment.
My focus
I have increasingly focused on providing couples counseling. I am comfortable addressing most conditions since I manage mental health units in large hospitals.
My communication style
Establishing good rapport is essential for treatment. One must feel comfortable and safe to share openly. Couples often feel hopeful after working with me.
My journey to therapy
I believe I entered this profession because of my own challenges. The profession probably picked me rather than me choosing it. I often see it as a calling.
My goals for you
Treatment goals need to be realistic and practical. Often, smaller steps are more attainable than setting overly large goals.
My first session with you
Usually, I try to map out a person’s difficulties to give them a clearer idea of the landscape they are facing. This often requires getting to know the person well.
