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.

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.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Life can feel so heavy when anxiety won’t let your mind rest, when fear wakes you at night, or when stress and self-doubt erode your confidence and faith. When burnout creeps in and relationships begin to crack, holding it all together can start to feel overwhelming.
At Rising Calm Center, we understand that weight. Our Christian counselors help young professionals, couples, and families find calm, rebuild trust, and walk in the peace Jesus promised—rather than performing under the pressures this world demands.
We integrate faith-based wisdom with evidence-based care, drawing from CBT, DBT, IFS, ACT, Gottman, EFT, Narrative Therapy, trauma-informed work, tapping, and breathwork. This combination helps you retrain your nervous system, heal emotional and spiritual wounds, and live with genuine peace.
Clients often come to us struggling with anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, grief, burnout, relationship conflict, or a sense of spiritual disconnection. Here, you’ll find compassion, honesty, and practical tools to feel safe in your body and centered in your spirit again.
What we offer:
• Free consultations for new clients — relief can start now
• Same-week availability, including evenings (Mon–Thu until 8 p.m.)
• Sliding-scale rates for affordable care
• In-person, telehealth, or phone sessions
You don’t have to face the storm alone. There is calm on the other side—and together, we can find it.

Reno's rapid growth — driven by a wave of tech and logistics companies relocating from California, anchored by facilities from Tesla, Apple, and Amazon — has transformed a gambling-and-entertainment city into a more economically diverse metro, and its therapy community is evolving to serve both the long-established casino workforce and a growing population of tech transplants. The city's proximity to the Sierra Nevada and outdoor recreation culture attracts a younger, health-conscious demographic who are generally comfortable seeking therapy, while the older gaming-industry workforce may carry greater stigma around help-seeking. Renown Health and the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private therapy community. Reno's significant homeless population and substance use challenges mean therapists specializing in co-occurring disorders serve an especially important community role.
