Brie Gitthens, LMFT — Therapist in Idaho

Hi there, I'm Brie!

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in Idaho, and I work with clients statewide via telehealth. I am dedicated to helping individuals (children, teens, adults), couples, and families navigate life's challenges with empathy and acceptance, no matter your struggle. Let's begin today, working together to help you find healing.

My focus

I help children, teens, and adults, couples, and families. Particularly those seeking self-understanding, emotional well-being, and those looking to strengthen their connection to their partners and/or family members. I will offer guidance, but trust your inner wisdom and capacity for growth.

My approach

My approach is tailored to you, blending evidence-based techniques with a deep understanding of the human experience. I enjoy practicing from a Humanistic, Emotionally-Focused, EMDR approach. "It is the client who knows what hurts, what directions to go, what problems are crucial, what experiences have been deeply buried." ~Carl Rogers

My communication style

I strive to provide a space where my clients feel honored, valued, and heard. I do this by building a strong connection with them through unconditional positive regard and acceptance.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe in the power of human connection and growth. My passion lies in helping others navigate their paths, offering support, empathy, and a safe place for healing. I believe that through genuine connection, shared wisdom, and an open heart, we can enrich each other's lives, making the path better together.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is collaborative, ongoing, and flexible. I want my clients to feel they are being challenged, making progress, and becoming the best versions of themselves.

Our first session

When we meet for our first session together, I will create a calm, supportive, and conversational environment. I will listen empathetically as you share at your own pace. I may ask how I can best support you in your journey. My goal for you after the first and subsequent sessions is to feel heard and understood.
