Catherine Brenen, LMSW

I serve clients by helping them address various stressors such as anxiety, drug use, depression, interpersonal relationships, trauma, health complications, as well as overall life challenges related to aging. Respect, empathy, positive regard, as well as faith in God and people are foundational to the services I provide. I provide mental health support, based on best practices, to help clients resolve dilemmas and challenges that impacts their mental and emotional health. My clients report they feel very comfortable talking to me and that services directly addresses their concerns and helps them to resolve the issues.
My goal is to empower my clients so that they have lifelong skills that supports them, now and in the future, if they should ever have any challenges again. My method is non-judgmental, friendly, yet professional, rooted in evidence based best practices.

I've worked in the human service field for over 20 years, mostly as a therapist. Nonetheless, I've also worked as a Case Manager which has helped me bring a unique perspective to therapy services. Sometimes clients need to address distressing thoughts, process trauma or regulate emotions and sometimes they need to resolve practical life issues. Therefore, my history as a Case Manager and Problem-Solving skills used in Cognitive and Dialectical Behavior Therapy enables me to assist clients with using Solution Focused treatment. When we work together you'll feel that you are receiving the professional services you need in a calm, supportive and engaging manner that helps you to focus on accomplishing your goals and feel empowered to manage your life, no matter the challenge you are facing.
