Background

About John Brazill

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who specializes in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Anxiety Disorders, Phobias, and Depression. I have trained under leading psychologists in the field and have extensive experience providing evidence-based treatments such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Behavioral Activation (BA). I have worked with adults, adolescents, and children to help them understand how to apply these approaches in their day to day lives. Anxiety can impact everyone’s life from time to time, and if left untreated anxiety can become the driving force behind one’s decisions and behaviors. Unfortunately, our natural responses to anxiety and depression can often be counterproductive and may cause more harm than good. My goal is to help client’s gain insight into ways their thoughts and behaviors are reinforcing their fears, worries, and low mood. I help clients discover ways they can challenge themselves that target their specific fears, while also working toward incorporating enjoyable activities that will help sustain motivation and lasting success. I believe a collaborative approach is essential and emphasize importance and honesty during treatment. Clients benefit most from learning how to embrace their desires and goals, and learning how to let these factors become the driving force that determines their actions. I believe this allows clients to maintain success achieved in therapy and continue to live a healthy and happy life following treatment.
