Brigitte Oetter

I am a client centered clinician who assists my clients in finding their power, their strength and their happiness. I graduated from Hawaii Pacific University in 2007 with a Masters in Social Work degree and became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2011. I have worked with many clients battling anxiety, depression and trauma. I have supported caregivers, people suffering from homeless, domestic abuse and family dynamic issues and I am ready to start your journey with you today.

I utilize a strengths perspective. We will discuss your therapy goals and find a pace that is comfortable for you. I like to do schema work and help replace those automatic messages and thoughts into more positive and productive ones. We will use different perspectives to see experiences through a different lens to make unique connections and find peace in situations. Each client's needs are individualized to achieve the happiness and life satisfaction each client is seeking.

Clients will identify their goals and objectives and identify the pace they are most comfortable with. Clients will be given strategies to try and we will talk about their effectiveness or barriers. I understand life is busy and homework can feel overwhelming, so there is no judgement just encouragement. We all have different paths and cannot make a change until we are ready. I will be there to encourage and support you while you do what is best for you in the time frame that works for you.
