About Brent
Every path is different.But nobody should have to walk theirs alone.
I work with people who want to understand themselves more deeply — not because they are broken, but because something in them is ready to be listened to differently.
I'm Brent.
People usually arrive because something no longer feels sustainable.
Sometimes it's anxiety.
Sometimes it's grief.
Sometimes it's relationships.
Sometimes it's simply a quiet sense that life has become smaller than it should be.
My role isn't to tell you who you are.
It's to create the conditions in which you can discover that for yourself.
Who I Am
Who I Am
I am Brent, a therapist and founder of Pathfinder.
Before I became a therapist, my path moved through military service, leadership, trauma, recovery, and the slow work of learning what the body can carry.
Those experiences do not make me the expert on your life. They shape the way I listen: with respect for survival, adaptation, and the parts of us that learned to keep going.
Pathfinder grew from a simple belief: people make sense.
How I Work
How I Work
People make sense.
Therapy begins by becoming curious about what has protected you, shaped you, limited you, and helped you survive.
I work relationally and integratively, drawing on Transactional Analysis, trauma-informed psychotherapy, EMDR, attachment theory, neuroscience and body-based understanding.
But the method is never more important than the relationship.
The work is collaborative, paced, respectful and grounded in the belief that meaningful change becomes possible when we begin to understand ourselves with less judgement.

Questions people often ask
Questions people often ask
What happens in the first session?
We begin gently. There is space to talk about what has brought you here, what you hope might change, and what would help the work feel steady enough to begin.
Do I need to know what is wrong before I begin?
No. Many people arrive with a feeling, a pattern, or a sense that something needs attention. Therapy can help us find the shape of it together.
Do you work online or in person?
Pathfinder can support thoughtful online work, with in-person possibilities shaped around availability, location and what feels clinically appropriate.
How long does therapy usually take?
There is no fixed formula. Some people come for focused work, others need a longer relationship with more space. We review the pace together.
How do I know whether Pathfinder is right for me?
The first conversation is a chance to notice whether the approach feels calm, respectful and useful. You do not need to decide everything in advance.
