Brett Collins

My communication style

My communication style is relational, relaxed, and direct. Our work will start with me earning your trust and with detailed informed consent about treatment options and goals. Clients find me to be deeply empathetic while still encouraging growth and accountability.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to being a therapist started out in community mental health, with a specialization in Infant-Parent Mental Health. My work has evolved alongside the growth of my own children - who have been my greatest teachers - to include folks of all ages and life stages. It is an absolute honor to join a client on their healing journey.

My goals for you

You are always the expert on your life and my role/style is more like that of a consultant, offering tools and strategies for you to choose from. My clients often redefine their goals as their work evolves so I regularly ask for feedback and renew consent to ensure our work is collaborative and effective.

Our first session

Our first session is a relaxed opportunity to get to know each other - for me to learn about what you're goals are and for you to learn about who I am and how I work. I find therapy works best when both people feel like the partnership is a good fit so the first session is the first step to finding your best fit.
