A unique, results driven approach
Utilizing a unique combination of cutting edge neuroscientific theories, adaptive methodologies, and compassionate personal engagement, Dr Grant Brenner’s creative and highly personalized approach allows his patients to realize who they really are and create transformative and undeniable positive change, within themselves and the relationships around them.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy comes in many forms. Key factors are the therapeutic relationship, the directiveness of the approach, and what the conversation is about. For psychoanalytic approaches, the work is more open-ended and organic. Self-awareness is transformative and we are capable of changing through insight. Structured approaches, the most well-known being cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), focuses on identifying and fixing the problematic mental habits which are contributing to suffering. Dr Brenner’s foundations are in both areas, and he takes an adaptive approach that is dynamically responsive to each person’s needs over the course of treatment.
Professional Performance Optimization
More often than most are able to admit, obstacles to professional development are hidden within psychological blind spots. Many times, we play out unconscious destructive repetitions in the workplace, just as we do in other contexts. By identifying areas of strength and challenge, issues like personality, communication style, unconscious bias, poor self-esteem, and failure to fully wield one’s full potential are addressed in a compassionate and targeted way to bring out the best. Frank and fair appraisal, dialogue, in partnership with testing and adopting updated practices adds up to work advancement, increased satisfaction, and ultimately, a greater sense of fulfillment and purpose.
Personal Development
All can be going well, and then for reasons unknown, we run into trouble. We can get stuck, at a loss for how to move forward, or even encounter self-defeating behaviors which catch us off guard. This can be deeply unsettling, anxiety-provoking, and confusing. Things we believed we’d resolved can return with great force. There is no substitute for working with a clear-headed expert well-versed in all the twists and turns of the human psyche, to quickly identify core issues and address them with a variety of tools ranging from active thought-partnering to solve problems, addressing core personality and self-care issues, and employing creative, highly interactive approaches to catalyze change and open up the floodgates for new, constructive experiences.
Relationship Counseling
Human relationships, while much simpler than they appear when we are caught up in distress and conflict, are straightforward to navigate when armed with a few basic tools. Understanding partners’ individual contributions, including ways of relating as well as past history, allows us to see how people match up and also where they clash. Concrete communication tools can create safe spaces for new dialogue, allowing for mutual respect and recognition, and paving the way for greater relationship satisfaction. Couples can work together on relationship issues, and individuals can develop skills and insights to enable them to be agents of positive change.
Depressive Disorder Therapy with TMS
Long-standing depression has shown to have a real and measurable impact on the function and network connectivity of the human brain. And sometimes, medication isn’t enough. For the relief of treatment-resistant depressive disorders, Dr Brenner utilizes highly personalized protocols that apply a combination of traditional therapeutic psychotherapy and clinically proven interventional therapies such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to achieve lasting, and life-changing, results. When used in combination with psychotherapy, TMS is able to safely and effectively relieve patients’ symptoms in just a few sessions and with no additional medications or side effects. Because of this, TMS has been widely recognized as the “clean alternative” in treating stubborn symptoms of depressive psychiatric conditions, and has shown to even decrease the amount of medication a patient needs while simultaneously improving their mood, wellbeing, and ultimately accelerating their overall therapeutic outcome.
Organizational Consultation
Organizations are complex and multilayered, creating challenges for teams, leaders and external partners when processes are hindered by problematic and hard-to-discern dynamics. How people get along, work together, how we functiona and dysfunction, makes the difference between success and failure. Mission drift, organizational trauma, poorly defined roles and responsibilities, organizational transition, trauma, growth and recovery, mitigating burnout and bolstering resilience on an evolving playing field—these factors are hard to see “from the inside”, running destructively in the background. As a consultant trained in organizational dynamics, founder and former CEO, Board member and Advisor to several organizations, individual therapist and coach working with people in the for- and not-for-profit world, disaster mental health leader and direct responder, and keen student of organizational process and human nature—I am in a position to make sense of and frame difficult problems in creative and useful ways to help you both understand and transcend barriers to growth, development and success.
