Feeling overwhelmed? Disempowered? Lost? Unable to communicate? How we respond to these challenges is often determined by the tools and perspectives we have at our disposal. Sometimes, particularly when we find ourselves stuck, it is helpful to call on the support of a therapist who can bring the awareness, insight, and coping skills necessary to navigate through those challenges. I work with teens, adults, and couples — all experiencing a broad range of challenges — seeking to unpack, make sense of, and find meaningful ways to address the underlying issues contributing to their current struggles.

Most people who come to see me are individuals and couples who are aware that something's wrong, but find that their own solutions to their issues are falling short, or even making matters more complicated. They are looking for support, understanding and REAL help that can be felt both in the present and that will leave a lasting impact.

Hello. I'm Bradly Long, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. From personal and professional experiences, I believe in a psychodynamic approach to learning about ourselves and where we come from while also improving upon our daily functioning. We are all works in progress. From my personal therapeutic experience as a client and then as a therapist, my focus is exploring and learning where we come from. What were we taught? I'm most comfortable with clients who aren't afraid of confronting what isn't working for them and talking about the elephant in the room.

You're in a state of overwhelm and life feels really unmanageable. You've tried therapy before, but it didn't go deeply enough into the struggles you've faced. You long to be seen and understood, but also want concrete skills so you can get through the day. You don’t want to turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms, but you’re running out of answers. You’re left to pick up the pieces and you’re not sure if you can do it again.
