Sometimes it’s hard to reach out for help. After all, this is not how you hoped it would be. Does any of this sound like you? You’re anxious, depressed and/or irritable. Things aren’t going well with your family. Something awful happened, and now you can’t seem to get back on track. You keep trying, but just can’t figure out how to make the changes you want. Something is missing and you’re wondering if this is all there is. Anyone at any age can grow. Any moment is a good moment to put your best foot forward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/a92322f4-7cbb-4f8a-a983-340e37215d97/DWLakes2025_SattvaPhoto_B7406067.jpg Home - Finding a therapist is about finding the right match. I understand that people look for counseling needing and wanting different things. I’ve helped many people to feel better, to make decisions they’re proud of, and to build relationships they love. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/1607303472525-1094RR3Y98AQ491X47HX/White+Mtns. Home - Individual Therapy Individual psychotherapy is a place for us to focus on you. It’s a place to say what you need to say and get the support you need. You want someone who’s easy to talk to, but who knows what they’re talking about. I work primarily with adults, but have some availability to work with adolescents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/b4782759-c075-4ee2-bddd-b4e50ffe7594/Charles+River+sunset Home - Couples Therapy You love someone, and so you try to make a place for them in your life. But sometimes it’s not an easy fit, or sometimes friction leads to wear and tear. If it’s worth building your life around a relationship, then why not get some help with maintaining it? Couples counseling gives you and your partner space to take care of your relationship so you can keep caring for and about each other. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/1604538227673-P2YHIO3R3D62EUJEFN8A/Sunlit+office Home - Group Therapy There is no part of our mental health that’s not impacted by our relationships— and there’s no better place to learn about relationships than group therapy. If you’ve never thought about joining a therapy group, you may be missing out on the thing that would help you most. https://www.jbrandpsychology.com/service-1 daily 0.75 2025-07-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/1604372293177-72XJYG7Y29NKSU3UY4M2/A+crane Individual Therapy - I help people get unstuck. In my practice, I help clients to understand themselves better. This often helps them to understand other people better, and that typically leads to having better, more satisfying relationships. Therapy becomes a place where you work through any fears of judgment, or the consequences of making mistakes, or saying the wrong thing as you open up in the otherwise messy process of learning and growing as a human being. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/1604379021727-OQJKFFA3HPRMWCF6GVX2/Stone+building Individual Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/1604379078920-YZZNA5WSFU7SSCXMLCTO/9262B729-2072-4DB2-AF9B-631DF18509D1.jpeg Individual Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/1605234388467-7MT431NHVGBGEWGD6PA8/a+mountain+cairn Individual Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/1604371384766-HK1OKFPE3BPKDGBHFPAN/airplane Individual Therapy - ”Oh, I’m definitely going to talk about that in therapy this week…” You know you’re getting settled into a good therapy when you find yourself looking forward to talking through the things that happen in your life.

Psychodynamic therapy realizes that there is more to “you” than just your conscious mind. If real, meaningful change is going to happen, we’re going to have to dig deep. https://www.jbrandpsychology.com/about-me daily 0.75 2025-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/1606358786744-U2Y55JLUYVVAB7V0FU3T/Jeff+Brand About Me - Hi, I’m Jeff. I help people feel better about their lives and make the changes they want. What I love about my work is helping people to be and become the people they want to be. If we want to make good decisions moving forward, then we need to look at what brought us to this moment. That’s easier said than done because some of what brought us here may not be the best version of ourselves. It’s hard to change what you can’t acknowledge. How are you supposed to pay attention to things you weren’t aware of— or didn’t want to notice in the first place? That’s where therapy comes in and how I can help. Looking at life’s mess is hard work— so hard that we often can’t do it without the support of someone we trust. Maybe I can be that person for you. My pronouns are he/him/his. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/1604191133657-RZLXP08ZC96J8XYRYFPB/Jeff+Brand+2 About Me - Why choose to work with me? I feel fortunate to have a job where I build relationships with people to help them talk honestly about their problems. I work primarily from a relational psychodynamic perspective, but with the help of other theories like existential humanism, Internal Family Systems, and CBT. I understand that sometimes therapy is about healing and “getting better,” and sometimes it’s about becoming a “better” version of ourselves. People use therapy in a lot of different ways. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/870776dc-40cd-4ac4-ad38-49e8a4723010/DWLakes2025_SattvaPhoto_B7406082.jpg About Me - Dialogue, the secret ingredient When I was in training, I made sure to work in a variety of different places so that I would be ready to work with a variety of different people. Everyone comes in with their own story and it’s important to listen closely to what makes you unique. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and found the therapist’s silence to be less than helpful. You might prefer to work with someone whose style is more conversational, someone who will ask questions that make you think. Where we go and what we talk about are always your choice, but it helps sometimes to have someone who can give you a nudge when you want to go a little deeper. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/1604192794192-WUNISQ9DSKN27Q9Z232S/a+sunlit+chair+in+an+office About Me - Ready to reach out?

Moreover, If we’re having a hard time in life, then that impacts how we show up in our relationships. And because we’re all social animals, if our relationships “get sick,” then we’re likely to feel bad. Group therapy can help keep your mind “healthy” when relationships get “ill”. It can help you show up for relationships in ways that you’re proud of. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/1613600858347-LRLPJ1CQP7FMRTQGSV6H/White+Mtns.+ridge+line Group Therapy - How does group therapy work? Group is like a scrimmage for real life. Groups give people a chance to do two important things: first, you’ll have a chance to talk about what you’re going through with peers who have had similar experiences. That alone is helpful, and it also builds trust with other members. Eventually, though, the relationships you build in therapy will run into the same kind of challenges as everyday life. That’s a blessing in disguise! Everyone is in group to learn about what makes relationships work. When these things happen, you’ll have a chance to ask, “Was there something that I did— or maybe didn’t do— that contributed to that moment?” And if so, what would it be like to do something different? Group gives us the opportunity to practice learning and growing in relationships— without having to have the whole world watch. https://www.jbrandpsychology.com/resource-1 daily 0.75 2023-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/1607302340352-F42FCZB190Q1K6GJ2NYE/trees+and+clouds Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/1611957778147-EN3G1QB4N08JLQ4CKM2X/CFD14106-4719-4FD4-AAE4-B71911C43182.jpg Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/1606008257796-9XLIFC39QPRTFR90LROP/3867B068-D76E-4404-BD55-38E06272B00C.jpeg Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/1612632312332-82LLMAD0S42L3WAUT3HN/Autumn+grass Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/1606017326219-WBHML7FIKVH1SZYZ3BSM/Prudential+Center+cloudy Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/1606017379525-GV7D2P04V06Q11YNKLD2/3BFAF71F-26C9-4DF7-AD6B-713B98922B7D_1_201_a.jpeg Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/1606009954597-Y7SZHF8CTOWG8VZT1AI4/Highway+overpass Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/1606009911990-LU6C89Z1QXK0W5HKWSU9/Sand+dunes Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/1606016544049-SLZW1AS075PQ7WEV0E67/A6B6EBBC-E903-448D-BEC8-FD3CB5A4DE28.jpeg Resources https://www.jbrandpsychology.com/about-therapy daily 0.75 2023-08-19 https://www.jbrandpsychology.com/on-drugs-alcohol daily 0.75 2023-08-19 https://www.jbrandpsychology.com/about-families-growing-up daily 0.75 2026-02-11 https://www.jbrandpsychology.com/because-awful-things-happen-trauma daily 0.75 2023-08-19 https://www.jbrandpsychology.com/being-mindful daily 0.75 2026-01-04 https://www.jbrandpsychology.com/on-equity-inclusion daily 0.75 2023-08-19 https://www.jbrandpsychology.com/living-with-grief-and-loss daily 0.75 2023-08-19 https://www.jbrandpsychology.com/because-change-is-hard daily 0.75 2023-08-19 https://www.jbrandpsychology.com/because-books-people-are-amazing daily 0.75 2023-08-19 https://www.jbrandpsychology.com/couples-therapy daily 0.75 2023-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/0b42e935-9f83-4ba8-aed7-1e78a4257861/road+sign Couples Therapy - Couples therapy can help you grow into what your love makes possible. “Couples in crisis may present in many different ways; content issues and personality styles run the gamut— but whether theatrically voiced or floating in the ether, something is always the same— the shock, the fear of collapse, the profound confusion over what is going on— a situation that incites extreme reactivity, paranoia, hypersensitivity, the feeling of ‘carrying my guts in a bag,’ as one man said.” — Virginia Goldner https://www.jbrandpsychology.com/custom-404-page daily 0.75 2025-07-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99f8b5815083583a126557/e9d02f7e-f2ad-46dd-984b-b01c51be658f/_MG_9156-nix.jpg https://www.jbrandpsychology.com/disclaimer daily 0.75 2025-07-25 https://www.jbrandpsychology.com/terms-of-service daily 0.75 2025-07-25
