About Bret
I am licensed in Mississippi with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, anger management, & depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Prior to becoming a professional counselor, I spent 25 years working as a paramedic and clinical educator. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support you in that journey. Read more Show less
