Brennan Pedersen

I see patients from a variety of backgrounds and diverse struggles. As a licensed psychoanalyst and graduate of the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies, I work with each patient based on their individual needs as the relationship develops. I have experience with the LGBTQ+ community, college students, artists, and a variety of professionals. Through my years of practice I've worked with depression, anxiety, psychotic symptoms, stress and body dysmorphia, in addition to other issues.

I help others to say what they have withheld, allowing them to begin to see the world from new perspectives, developing new ways of being in the world, the opportunity to make new choices. Therapy can be painful, slow, and arduous; this is part of why we undertake this process with an experienced therapist, someone to be in our lives for exactly and only this purpose. I work as a guide and companion in the processs of putting thoughts and emotions into words.

The act of putting thoughts and emotions into words can have surprising and powerful results. There is freedom in saying out loud—in a unique and confidential environment—what is only said to oneself. Creating the space for you to be heard, for you to speak is my work. You need only to come and say whatever is on your mind, whatever you are ready to say, whatever you want to address. With each individual I work differently because each person brings a unique world.
