About

Hi there, I'm Brandon! Hello there, my name is Brandon Ballantyne. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. My clinical focus is in utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy with clients to alleviate various forms of mental and emotional distress. My approach My clinical style is one that incorporates principles of cognitive behavioral therapy with a client centered mentality, to collaboratively explore the relationships between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In doing so, my clients are supported in reaching a greater satisfaction in life, emotional well-being, and relationships. This is achieved through the development and acquisition of more balanced thinking, and healthier emotional-behavioral reactions. My focus My clinical approach fits particularly well with the needs of adolescents and young adults who are navigating life adjustments and psych-social changes as the development of flexible thinking allows for adaptive growth and healthier coping. My communication style My therapeutic tone and environment is collaborative and open. My journey to therapy I find it fulfilling to be able to contribute to the well being and positive growth of others. I believe that mental and emotional distress can interfere with those personal goals that are important to an individual's self fulfillment. My philosophy of conceptualizing symptoms of emotional distress as tangible elements that can be practically addressed and resolved; allows clients to realize that they have much more control over feeling better and living healthier. This process is professionally rewarding for me, and I view myself as a guide in my client's journey toward realizing their true individual potential. My goals for you Therapy objectives are met through an inviting, conversational atmosphere which includes both short term and long term solution focused recommendations.
