Great to meet you!

Brady has extensive experience helping individuals and families achieve meaningful, lasting change in their lives. He has worked in the mental health field since 2014 and brings a broad range of clinical and residential treatment experience to his practice.

Brady completed his graduate education at Boise State University and has completed more than 4,000 hours of supervised postgraduate clinical experience. His professional background includes extensive work in residential treatment, beginning in 2012 as a Family Teacher working with adolescent girls ages 12–18. Since 2016, Brady has maintained a private practice, providing therapy to adults and adolescents, with a particular focus on individuals who have experienced childhood and adult sexual trauma.

Brady has received specialized training in several evidence-based and trauma-focused approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, the Teaching-Family Model, and the EAGALA Model of equine-assisted psychotherapy. He also has specialized training in working with individuals experiencing Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).

In addition to his professional experience, Brady brings a strong personal commitment to helping others recognize their strengths and potential for growth. He and his wife are the parents of eight children and served as foster parents for 11 years, ultimately adopting six children from the foster care system.

Throughout his personal and professional life, Brady has been a natural helper. He believes that people are capable of meaningful change and strives to create a therapeutic environment in which clients can recognize their strengths, develop hope, and take practical steps toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

My approach to therapy

I want to get to know you as a person to better understand your needs.

What you can expect from me

I want to help my clients understand how trauma affects the brain and body. I want my client to learn how to develop coping strategies, learn grounding techniques, and practice emotional regulation.
