I'm Brad and I'm a therapist in North Austin who specializes in treating PTSD, depression, and anxiety. My style has been described as compassionate, mindful, and relational. My primary modality is Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a structured intervention which treats PTSD by challenging unproductive beliefs generated by the traumatic event.
While training and experience are important, I know the most important factor in successful treatment is the relationship between the client and the therapist. I like to meet my clients where they are and move forward together. In therapy I strive for a balance between nurturing and challenging to enable safe growth for my clients.
While it is important for my clients to set their own goals, there are certain things I look for to indicate that therapy is working. When a client tells me they've been able to control their disruptive thoughts then I know we are heading in the right direction! Further along in therapy I expect clients to report stronger relationships and communication skills.
