Brent Schultz

With more than fifteen years of experience in behavioral health, my work is shaped by a deep commitment to helping individuals feel understood, supported, and empowered. My education and early training focused on counseling, addiction treatment, and behavioral health assessment, and I spent many years providing individual, group, and family therapy across detox, residential, and outpatient settings. I’ve worked closely with adults navigating substance use, trauma, anxiety, depression, anger or impulse concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and relationship or family challenges. I’ve also supported LGBTQ+ clients, justice‐involved individuals, and those managing chronic mental illness or complex psychosocial stressors.

In addition to my clinical work, I’ve spent more than a decade in behavioral health utilization management, leading teams that ensure clients receive appropriate, timely, and effective care. This blend of direct therapeutic experience and system‐level leadership gives me a unique perspective: I understand both the personal and structural challenges people face when seeking help. Clients can expect a grounded, compassionate, and collaborative approach—one that honors their story, builds on their strengths, and supports meaningful, sustainable growth.

My approach to therapy is grounded in respect, collaboration, and a deep understanding of how complex life experiences shape emotional and behavioral health. With more than fifteen years of clinical work in substance use treatment, trauma recovery, crisis stabilization, and behavioral health assessment, I focus on creating a space where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered. I work from a trauma‐informed, person‐centered perspective, helping clients explore patterns, build insight, and develop practical strategies for managing challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger or impulse concerns, family issues, and relationship difficulties.

I believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative and grounded in your goals. My style blends clinical expertise with genuine empathy, meeting clients where they are and tailoring treatment to their unique needs—whether navigating ADHD, bipolar disorder, substance use recovery, or identity‐related concerns within the LGBTQ+ community. Ultimately, my approach centers on helping clients strengthen resilience, improve communication, and move toward meaningful, sustainable growth.

A first session with me is calm, structured, and focused on helping you feel comfortable from the start. We’ll talk about what brought you in, what you’ve been experiencing, and what you hope to change or understand. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and work with you to identify the concerns you want to focus on—whether they involve stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, or relationship and family challenges.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer sense of direction and a collaborative plan for moving forward. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and confident that therapy can be a meaningful space for growth.
