Depression is a serious condition that affects mood, thoughts, and behavior, but it's treatable. It can bring sadness, anxiety, and loss of interest, harming life, work, relationships, and health, too.
We are psychotherapists, some who have been practicing for over thirty years. Our extensive training means we are equipped to treat numerous conditions. Our areas of specialization focus on depression, Bipolar disorder, anxiety, self esteem and problems originating in childhood. We also provide premarital, early marriage, couples and family counseling.

I met Brannan when I was looking for help during difficult time. I was anxious over a problematic relationship and avoiding my responsibilities, especially to myself. Her help was so insightful, empathetic, and liberating for me, that we ended up working together for many years and continued onto other topics. Grief, substance abuse, career, creativity… we have explored so much, and I have grown tremendously because of Brannan’s caring and honest approach.
As an artist living in a large city, managing family, career, goals, and stresses, Brannan has been a steady voice of calm and reflection for me. She comes from and understands the creative world and brings deep empathy and experience to her listening. She has consistently challenged me to question my assumptions and look at my full situation, which has helped me gain a much deeper perspective of myself.
After a number of years Brannan asked me to look back to where I was when we first met, and how far I had come. The change was profound. I’ve come to appreciate myself fully, which has given me so much confidence. I’ve moved beyond the anxieties that held me back and been exploring deeper issues. And every time I’ve thanked Brannan she has made it clear that it was all my work. But she showed me the way, for which I’m forever thankful.

Few things are impossible if you are willing to engage in psychotherapy.
