Brendan Twist

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I work with adults, children, and families on issues including depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, addictions, grief, anger, family discord, and workplace distress. My goal is to bring warmth and acceptance to all my sessions and to provide clients with concrete skills that they can use to help solve their problems and live more fulfilling lives.

My core modality is DBT (dialectical behavior therapy), which teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness (learning to nurture relationships while also getting your needs met). I’m also trained in CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), narrative therapy, and play therapy.

If you or a loved one is dealing with a mental health issue, you’re struggling with one or more of the relationships in your life, or you simply feel like you’re in a rut, I encourage you to reach out! I believe in building trusting relationships and collaborating to find strategies that help clients feel happier and more balanced.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions – online therapy can be as helpful as in-person care. Research and clinical experience indicate that remote sessions often produce meaningful progress for these kinds of issues.

One major benefit is flexibility. People can meet with a therapist in the format that works best for them – video visits, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and daily life.

Each provider offering online services is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. This approach can make consistent care more accessible while still connecting people with trained clinicians who address common mental health needs.
