Hi, I’m Autumn Brennan, LCPC, and I am excited to share my story with you!

I started my career in mental health 20 years ago with a BA in psychology working with teens and their families in recreational therapies. I have since spent over a decade working as a licensed clinical therapist, consultant, supervisor, and performance coach. In this time, I have served individual children, teens, adults, parents, families, and couples in almost all levels of care. My experience has taught me that people want more than anything to stop living in survival mode and to reach new levels of freedom and connection. My mission is to help guide my clients toward their version of success and safety.

I have been intensively trained in therapies and coaching strategies aimed at helping clients to gain control over their lives through emotion regulation, trauma resolution, and active growth. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Play Therapy, Child Parent Relational Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, Brainspotting, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are some of the methods that I use to confidently support my clients during their healing and growth process.

Over my career I have made it my priority to remain current in neuroscience research and integrative medicine innovations that can be applied to how mental health is supported and managed. I believe in an approach that integrates the whole person, the whole nervous system, and the whole environment. I have worked closely with nutritionists, psychiatrists, and occupational therapists and believe in somatic (body-based) approaches that target change where it counts: the brain and body. Growth and healing should be efficient and attainable for anyone and these methods have been proven to make this possible. My desire is to provide my clients with a manageable way to access these benefits.

My passion for healing through the nervous system has grown in its intensity over the last five years as I have specialized in supporting individuals with sensory processing sensitivities, the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) trait, and other forms of neurodivergence, like ADHD, OCD, or high functioning autism. Whether you are an HSP, find yourself somewhere else on the neurodivergent spectrum, or are the loved one of someone who is, getting to know the characteristics of neurodivergence and learning to navigate them in a healthy way can lead to more desirable connections and a greater sense of stability.
