Brett Bailey Kern

Brett Bailey Kern, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), brings over 20 years of personal mindfulness practice to his therapeutic work, which heavily influences his compassionate, client-centered approach. He understands that unspoken issues often perpetuate cycles of pain, and believes that many individuals find themselves trapped in behaviors, symptoms of anxiety or depression, and challenging relationships. With a keen awareness of how personal and familial experiences shape thoughts and feelings without one's consent, Brett guides his clients in exploring the meanings behind their experiences. This exploration can lead to profound relief and the reduction or elimination of distressing symptoms. His diverse therapeutic toolkit incorporates various strategies such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Family Systems work, and Imago Therapy, ensuring a tailored approach for each individual. Coupled with his rich professional background as a firefighter and a retired US Army Reserve Officer, Brett offers profound insights, especially to those dealing with anxiety and other trauma-linked conditions, having successfully navigated similar challenges himself.
