MY APPROACH
Not long ago, I came across a fortune cookie quote that stuck with me: “Life must be lived forward, but can only be understood backwards.” I’ve learned that life often brings challenges we never expected—some that can feel overwhelming or even impossible to face alone. Through the lens of my own life journey, I understand the challenge of feeling misunderstood. This is when I learned the importance of mental health. Everyone wants to feel seen and heard in order to feel safe. With the right support, care, and understanding, healing and growth are not only possible—they’re within reach
My goal is to create a safe and welcoming space where you can share your story, feel validated, and begin the journey toward healing and growth. We’ll work together to find tools and set goals that are realistic and meaningful for you—always at your pace, and always with compassion.
I’ve spent over 20 years walking alongside individuals and families in both mental health and medical settings, many of whom have faced trauma in different forms. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and a deep respect for each person’s unique path. I’m trained in Story-Informed Trauma Therapy (SITT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Brainspotting, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Roberto Brindusesc, LMHCA
My fascination with psychology has been a defining aspect of my academic and personal journey. Early on in my college career, I had to face depression and anxiety head-on. At that point, I became more aware of my own limitations in understanding and addressing them. It was through this time that ignited my passion to pursue the knowledge and tools of psychology. Driven by a desire to not only further comprehend the human mind but also to assist those who, like me, found themselves experiencing mental health challenges. It is then I embarked on a transformative journey of self-improvement and empathy.
Throughout this journey, one valuable insight became clear: there is power in sharing one's own narrative and applying the tools necessary, can be transformative. My hope is to extend this transformation to others who are traveling their own unique paths. By imparting the knowledge, tools, and the undeniable efficacy of storytelling in the realm of mental health, I hope to empower individuals to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery and healing.
