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.

Living with a neurological condition can be frustrating and involve memory loss, trouble focusing, and sometimes contribute to depression and anxiety. I am here to help. As a board-certified Clinical Neuropsychologist, I provide comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations for a wide range of conditions, including dementia (e.g., Alzheimer's disease and atypical dementias), brain tumors, post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (commonly known as "long haulers"), autoimmune conditions, and brain injuries. For additional support, I also provide focused, short-term psychotherapy to help patients adjust to their medical condition and thrive.

For over a decade, I’ve helped young men struggling with anger, fear, and depression.
You just got into another fight with your teenage son, and you feel terrible about it. All you wanted to do was talk, to tell him that you’re worried about him, but as usual, the conversation quickly devolved into another screaming match. You feel so helpless watching him make the same mistakes over and over. Isolating himself, turning to harmful coping methods, hanging around the wrong people. You’re terrified that if he keeps going in this direction, he may never be able to dig himself out of it. As a parent, you only want him to be happy, but nothing you try seems to get through. And it feels like you’re running out of options.

My favorite modalities of therapy are Somatic Experiencing and NARM, whole body modalities that involve greater focus on physical sensation, emotion, the felt sense, and incomplete motor programs. Both have grounding in modern neuropsychology. I have found that these techniques enhance a person's journey to integration. I have a background in Jungian work and also have a MA in Folklore and Mythology. I enjoy working with clients who have an interest in somatics, story, and healing from anxiety and trauma. I have done a great deal of men's work and enjoy helping men recover from depression and difficult relationships.

I acknowledge your courage and commitment in this moment as you search for a therapist. In my experience, it's easy to get stuck inside of our suffering and difficult to find room to function, much less to thrive. And yet, here you are. Take a moment to appreciate the room here--the space between the difficult stuff preceding this moment and the step you're about to take. Imagine if life had a little more room in each moment--more flexibility, meaning, and vitality? What if therapy was not about getting rid of the difficult stuff but about living a deeply meaningful life?

I have found that success, whether relationship, career, parenting, spiritual, or otherwise - can be blunted or excelled based on our perspective and emotional capacity. Often we are using the tools we have or were given and doing the best we can, but it doesn't seem to be enough. I believe we are able to learn tools and skills we were never taught, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and gain a new hope and perspective that allows us to find the success in life we desire. We don’t have to be stagnant with where we are. We can grow and change, — especially when we are supported and taught how to.

I believe in the value of books and reading; they are powerful aids to mental health, growth and healing. What we read changes not only our thoughts and feelings, but can determine our long-term view of the world as well. Each person has an ongoing personal narrative or story that is shaped by our experiences--but mostly by our view of these experiences. We are our life story, in the sense that it influences our choices, what we value and what we fear in life, etc. The good news is that we can shape and change our life story through awareness, understanding, and compassion.

I am accepting new clients. Our minds and bodies do anything they can to help us cope with pain, anxiety, and loss. How we attempt to manage our hurt impacts our connection with ourselves, others, and life in general. We cope in ways such as being disconnected from our body to avoid feeling, becoming overly angry when we feel disrespected, or maybe even isolating ourselves out of fear of being rejected. You can directly schedule an appointment with me at www.finchandfox.com

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
