Brent Veney

My communication style

My communication style is calm, approachable, and genuine. I stive to create a space where clients feel comfortable being themselves, knowing they will be met with empathy, respect, and without judgement. I believe meaningful therapy happens through strong, authentic connection, and I work to remain present and engaged while helping clients.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey started with my own personal experience with therapy. During some of my toughest times, therapy was what helped me and quite honestly, it still does. Now, I get to be the person that walks with others through life's challenges. Many things are less scary, daunting, or heavy when you have someone with you. I get to be that someone.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by combining insight and action. Together, we identify patterns, clarify what matters most to them, and develop a plan to work toward change and feeling better. I think about it as the client being the driver and I'm the GPS. We are in the car together, we set the destination together and I look for optimal routes.

Our first session

Our first session if of course filled with questions as I get to know you and your current situation but also an opportunity for you to get to know a bit about me, my style, and my energy. By the end, we will have a good idea of how well we fit together, what direction we hope to go, and the beginnings of a working therapeutic relationship.
