Brandon Hunter, LPC — Therapist in Wisconsin

Hi there, I'm Brandon!

I get to know my clients and understand the circumstances that have led to their current situation. Being able to relate, meet my clients where they are, and move toward workable solutions are ways I try to engage you to become a better you.

My focus

I focus on career-related issues, men's issues, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, homicidal ideation, and short-term crisis situations. Helping create abilities to get through current and future crises is my main area of practice.

My approach

I use cognitive behavior therapy and solutions-focused behavioral therapy for short-term work. For longer-term sessions, I combine dialectical behavioral therapy and CBT approaches to help you build skills and shift patterns.

My communication style

I am a direct, no-nonsense type of therapist. I will tell you exactly what is going on with a touch of validation to help you understand why you are going through the current situation.

My journey to mental healthcare

I used to work in corrections. I saw how people with power communicated and the cruel nature that could emerge. I grew to love talking to people and learning how to communicate effectively, which led me to create these therapeutic spaces.

My goals for you

I set up three short-term, three medium-term, and two long-term goals for you to begin to envision how you can create a road to where you wish to be in a few months to a year.

Our first session

You can expect to get to know me while I understand why you are here. We will also complete informed consent forms, establish an agreeable schedule, review the cancellation policy, and discuss what you are seeking from me as your therapist.
