Michael Andrew Brennan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My work has been deliberately eclectic. I have worked with youth in foster care, incarcerated individuals, people in recovery, couples in crisis, families in distress, teens finding their way, identity crisis/spiritual emergency, Veterans, individuals in hospice, as well as those journeying with deep sadness, suicidal ideation, worry and fear, debilitating grief, extensive trauma, and inner voices. I also work with creatives who feel stuck. Research consistently shows that the most important common factor in positive client outcomes is the quality of the therapist-client relationship. So, I invite you to explore my website (mikebtherapy.com), then schedule a free no-obligation connection call with me to better determine our compatibility. I will only commit to working with you if I determine that I can help you achieve your goals. Your time, money, and energy is valuable.

Shannon Kossick
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I believe vulnerability is essential in the therapeutic space, and I’d like to share a bit about myself to foster transparency and understanding as we work together. My background and experiences inform my perspectives and approach to therapy, and I want you to have a clear sense of who I am to share in a vulnerable space together.
I am a cisgender, heterosexual, White woman of Irish and Prussian heritage who was brought up in a middle-class family in the suburbs. I am also a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer and former Certified Public Accountant, have lived in four countries on three continents, am married to a counselor, and have two beloved dogs, one of which weighs over 100 pounds. I grew up in the Catholic Church, but my personal spiritual practice now draws inspiration primarily from Buddhist traditions.
I utilize IFS in my work with clients. Imagine your mind like a family. You have different “parts” with different jobs, like protectors or worriers. Internal Family Systems helps you understand these parts, connect with your calm, wise “Self,” and create inner harmony. It’s about healing, not fixing.
I offer EMDR as an intervention. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a therapy that helps your brain process and heal from traumatic or distressing experiences. We use bilateral stimulation, like eye movements or tapping, while you focus on the memory. This helps your brain reprocess the memory, reducing its emotional charge and allowing you to feel more peaceful and resilient.
I use ACT in my practice. Acceptance & Commitment Therapy helps you build a rich and meaningful life by focusing on what truly matters to you. Instead of fighting your thoughts and feelings, you learn to accept them and commit to taking action in line with your values. It’s about psychological flexibility: being present, choosing your direction, and taking action, even when it’s difficult.
I incorporate MBIs into therapy. Mindfulness-based interventions teach you to pay attention to the present moment without judgment, using practices like meditation. These practices can help you become more aware of your thoughts and feelings, allowing you to manage stress, anxiety, and other challenges more effectively. By cultivating this awareness, you can improve emotional regulation and overall well-being.

Daniel Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD., LP. DBSM
My job is to hold up an accurate mirror. A good therapist helps you to become more aware of and access the skills and strengths you have, and is not afraid to point out the barriers to progress that you are experiencing.
