Hi! I'm Brenda
A Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C), Board Approved Clinical Supervisor and Speaker based in the DC, MD, and VA area.
I draw from Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness based therapy, somatic approaches including Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) tapping and nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed care — while keeping one eye always on where you are going and what is possible for you. I work best with adults committed to showing up and doing the work. Together we will not just explore what is hurting. We will build toward where you are going.
I am dedicated to helping you find healing, hope, and resilience through evidence-based, compassionate care. My style is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I believe you deserve a space to be fully yourself — to process, to feel, and to heal without fear of being judged.
— Brenda Nettey, LCSW-C, FOUNDER
