The Therapist - Brett J Newton - LPC

"Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance." Proverbs 1:5

Hi!

I am Brett, and I am honored that you are taking sometime to learn about me as you consider whether I might be the right therapist for you or a loved one.  

Choosing the right therapist is a very important decision that you should take time to determine.  It's so important that I make it a requirement that we have a consultation before we officially decide to begin our official therapy journey.

Now that I got that out of the way, let me tell you a little about me.  

I am a happy-go-lucky, friendly guy, father of 5 kids, 3 goats, 2 cats, 1 tarantula and happily-married husband of 17 years to my lovely wife, Gretchen.  

I've known that the helping profession was for me since middle school when my school counselor illuminated the profession through various interactions with him.  From then on I knew I was going set my sights on the helping professions and did I ever...  Below is a quick snapshot of  my many helping roles and the time I spent in these capacities.

Clinical Mental Health Therapist for 4 years

Professional School Counselor for 10 years

Intern School Counselor for 1 year

Intern Clinical Counselor for 1 year

Camp Educator for 2 summers

Adjunct Professor for 6 months

Children’s Services Caseworker for 2 years

Primary Counselor for Parolees for 6 months

Over the last 15 years I've been developing my theoretical orientation as a therapist, and the approaches I most often incorporate are:
