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.

Michael Brustein
Psychologist, Psy.D
Often, perfectionistic and high-striving individuals are both curious about therapy and ambivalent about seeking it. They may feel excited by the possibility of understanding themselves more deeply, while also unsettled by the idea of asking for help with one’s own mind. For people who are used to being competent, self-reliant, and in control, therapy can feel exposing at first.
Michael helps clients understand this hesitation not as resistance, but as part of the work itself: the wish to grow alongside the fear of needing anything at all. Many clients become more comfortable once they see that therapy is not simply about “talking about feelings,” but about learning to observe the mind with more honesty and precision.
Therapy becomes a disciplined space for reflection, which itself can be a powerful tool for developing emotional clarity, self-awareness, and greater freedom in how one responds to pressure, relationships, and oneself. Michael is also attentive to the ways thoughtful, high-striving people can use insight, analysis, mindfulness, or even spiritual ideas to move around painful emotional material rather than through it. When this pattern is noticed early, it can be addressed directly and compassionately, helping therapy remain grounded, emotionally honest, and clinically useful.

Bridget Couderc
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPCC, Owner
With over 14 years of experience supporting individuals aged 12 and older, I approach care from a deeply client-focused perspective. My priority is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship, one that honors each person's unique journey and fosters meaningful progress toward their goals.
Whether we are working toward solutions or navigating the complexities of acceptance, I believe both change and acknowledgment are powerful and valid paths. I strive to meet you exactly where you are, offering support, insight, and compassion at every stage of your therapeutic process.

Amanda Etienne
Psychologist, Psy.D
If you're a woman who's spent years doing everything "right," (achieving, handling, holding it together...) you may have noticed that success didn't fill the gap you thought it would. I work with capable, high-achieving women who are realizing they want more than functioning: they want to actually know themselves, and to let the people in their life know them too.
Many of my clients grew up being told they were "too sensitive" or "too much." I believe sensitivity isn't the problem to manage away - it's a strength that got mislabeled, and often the very thing that makes deep connection possible. Together, we slow down enough to build a real relationship with yourself, not just a polished explanation of yourself.
I offer virtual therapy across Colorado, Washington, and all PSYPACT states, specializing in anxiety, perfectionism, and relational and sexual trauma. If you're ready to stop managing your sensitivity and start using it, I'd love to talk.
