Doven Brezner, LCSW: Your Partner in Mental Health

Let’s Find the Right Path for You...

Through outpatient services, we will explore the most effective modalities to support your emotional health, growth, and overall well-being. Regardless of where you are in your journey, meaningful change is achievable.

Therapy Approach — Modalities I Use to Support Your Growth

I tailor practical, evidence-based methods to your needs:

• CBT/ACT (Top-down): Helps you identify and change unhelpful thoughts and beliefs to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.
• Metacognitive Therapy (Top-down): Focuses on recognizing and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel worry and rumination—often supported by body-based techniques.
• Affective Neuroscience Psychotherapy (Top-down & Bottom-up): Combines brain science and emotion work, using both cognitive and bodily approaches to improve emotional regulation and well-being.
• Skills for Life (Top-down): Focuses on developing daily skills like emotion regulation, problem-solving, and stress management.

For more profound, more embodied change, I incorporate evidence-based, "bottom-up" modalities:

• Parts Work: Addresses different parts of yourself to foster self-understanding and integration.
• Experiential Therapy: Uses body awareness to explore and process intense feelings, especially helpful with trauma.
• Emotion-Focused Therapy: Supports accessing and understanding emotions through bodily experience for acceptance and healing.
• Memory Reconsolidation: Reframes distressing memories at a neural level for lasting change.
