I am gifted in working with children, teens and adults especially those struggling with grief, trauma, parental separations, and anxiety. I believe kids/people are resilient in dealing with these events if given the opportunity to do so. Children/teens often just need the unencumbered help of an empathetic adult, I offer this through play therapy sessions. I also work with adults in navigating issues such as anger, grief, parenting, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

For many of us life brings about unexpected changes and loss. In the midst of change we often find ourselves struggling to sleep, eat or make the healthy choices we wish we would. We may find ourselves shutting down, numbing out or we keep busy, never slowing down. We try everything within our strength to ignore, run from or avoid our pain. What would happen if we stopped, found a safe person, in a safe space to turn and face our pain and begin to heal?

Hi. My name is Brian Raymond. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Idaho and have been practicing in the Treasure Valley in various therapeutic environments since 2007. I know how helpful it can be to get a feel for someone before making the decision to schedule an appointment with them. Deciding to get started with a new counselor can be nerve wracking for some so I want to do anything I can to ease that anxiety before our first session.

It is my honor to work with couples, families, and individuals desirous of creating authentic relationships with honest communication. In today's world, we can feel pressured to present a perfect image of ourselves to our community, work colleagues, family members, and even our spouses. This can cause a great deal of exhaustion and anxiety. Even if there is a desire to show our more true, vulnerable self to others, there comes with it a fear that we may be seen as "not enough" and ultimately be rejected. Together, I can help you build healthier connections with yourself and with your spouse/family.

It is so easy to focus on what is not working and what has to be 'fixed' rather than on what is working and what is right in ourselves. Our society, social media, and some of our environments give us the message that we need to be 'better' that we are not 'good enough' just as we are. I center my work on a strength based model to reinforce self acceptance, self understanding, positive self thoughts, and enhancing confidence levels in yourself. Focusing on your known strengths motivate you to change patterns and build environments that are reinforcing and supportive.

Grief Therapists

How long does therapy take for grief?

There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?

Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?

Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?

Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
