My Story

My name is Jen Brady. And I understand the pain of trying to connect with your loved one and feeling shut out or powerless to affect change. It can leave a person feeling defeated, sorrowful, anxious, and plum exhausted. This makes sense because we are created for connection, so much so that we anticipate others being responsive and engaged. Therefore, when there is dissonance, we feel it in our bones.

My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for you and your loved one to explore areas of struggle, heal moments of rupture, and develop fulfilling relationships.

I particularly enjoy working with couples who have found themselves in cycles of conflict and disconnect. I believe nurturing our most important relationships can bring about tremendous health to the individual and the couple/family.

My primary modality is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I utilize this attachment-focused, experiential, evidence-based practice in my work with couples and individuals to help them clarify and organize the inner world of an individual and to explore the problem of the resulting cycles with others (or other parts of self) when there is pain or difficulty but limited skillfulness in communicating that vulnerability.

I approach my work from a person-centered and trauma-informed perspective and incorporate other evidence-based practices, including, but not limited to, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), MI (Motivational Interviewing), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I also utilize the neuroscience of stress through polyvagal and CRM (Community Resilience Model). 

I have completed advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (Externship and Core Skills) and am seeking certification as an EFT Therapist. I have over a decade of experience in licensed therapeutic work with individuals, couples, and families; I am a certified trauma professional and dually licensed substance use counselor.
