Shannon Kossick
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LCADC
Something brought you here. Maybe you've been holding it together for a long time and you're tired. Maybe something happened and you haven't been able to shake it. Maybe you just know that the way things are isn't how you want them to stay.
I work with adults who are ready to slow down and get curious about what's really going on beneath the surface. Using EMDR, IFS, and somatic therapy, I help people understand their nervous system, process what they've been carrying, and find a steadier, more grounded way forward. My approach is warm, unhurried, and body-aware. I believe healing happens in relationship, and I take that seriously.
I'm an LCSW and LCADC with advanced training in EMDR and IFS, and a registered trauma-informed yoga teacher. I see clients in person in Carson City and via telehealth across Nevada.

Michael Andrew Brennan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My work as a therapist has been intentionally eclectic. Over the years, I’ve supported people across many seasons of life and many kinds of struggle—youth in foster care, individuals in recovery, Veterans, families and couples in crisis, people navigating identity questions and spiritual emergencies, and individuals facing deep grief, trauma, and major life transitions.
Clients often reach out when they’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, burned out, or stuck in patterns that no longer work. Others come in carrying grief, trauma, intrusive thoughts, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or the life they want to live. I also work with creatives who feel blocked, lost, or disconnected from their own momentum and meaning.
I believe the most important factor in therapy is the quality of the relationship. My approach is grounded, conversational, and collaborative—focused less on correction and more on honest dialogue, presence, and making sense of your experience together.
If you’re considering working with me, I invite you to explore my website (michaelandrewbrennan.com) and reach out. I take fit seriously, and I’ll only commit to working with you if I genuinely believe I can help you move toward your goals. Your time, money, and energy matter.

Unchained Brain LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Unchained Brain is built on the belief that therapy should help you make sense of your experiences, not just cope with them. I work with adults who want a thoughtful and supportive approach to therapy, especially when stress, anxiety, cognitive concerns, or health changes begin to affect daily life. Clients often tell me they feel heard, understood, and relieved to finally connect the dots between their thoughts, emotions, and brain functioning. If you’re looking for a therapist who combines compassion with clarity, and helps you move forward with confidence, I’d love to connect. Clients often seek me out when they want clarity, structure, and a deeper understanding of how the brain, emotions, and daily functioning are connected, including support with thinking skills, organization, and cognitive changes.

Joanne A. Petursson
Psychologist, PsyD
Ready to make a change in your life, but not sure where or how to start? Let’s take that first step together. I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience working with adults who are ready to make meaningful change—but need support getting started. Whether you’re struggling with substance use, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, or just feeling stuck, you don’t have to face it alone. I use proven approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based strategies. I offer ADHD evaluations for adults, with tailored treatment recommendations based on the client's unique needs. I enjoy working with Veterans and college students, I have an extensive background working with substance use issues, and I am certified in CBT for chronic pain.
I focus on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space for adults dealing with a variety of mental health issues. My goal is to help clients explore what’s holding them back and build practical strategies to move forward. Additionally, I endeavor to help my clients feel more grounded, clear, and empowered.
I accept Highmark, Optum, Aetna, and UPMC commercial insurance and I am happy to help with reimbursement for out-of-network clients. Clients are encouraged to contact their insurance company to verify that I am in-network if they would like to use insurance benefits, especially if located outside of Pennsylvania.
