Individual Counseling

There are many struggles that can affect most people in their lifetime, but with positive actions positive results can be seen. At A Family Matter, Kent Brand sees individual patients for depression, anxiety, substance abuse, anger issues, adult ADHD, and more. He believes in giving people not only the tools to overcome hardships but also in giving them hope to find strength and purpose in themselves.

The Christian faith is an important part of Kent's life, and as such he provides specialized Christian counseling to those who wish to receive it.


Substance Abuse and Alcohol Counseling

When it comes to addiction, simply attending a treatment program or using the twelve step program will prove fruitless if your not trying to get to the root of the problem. Kent will listen to your life story and then will begin to work with you to heal the hurt that is causing the addiction. This past pain could be an abusive childhood, the loss of a loved one, a traumatic event, or simply confusion about your current life. Discovering this is where the healing beings.

Kent believes in healing all parts of you to produce synergy for future change. This will enable you to find emotional, physical, mental, social, and spiritual solutions. Kent has seen this approach work time and time again, and he can make it work for you, too. Afterwards, if you need help earning your driver's license back or showing that you are in recovery, Kent offers Drug & Alcohol Recovery classes to allow you to present certification that you are making headway against your addiction.


Stress, Anxiety, Depression, and Other Mental Health Counseling

Are you constantly running on empty? Are you overloaded with work and feeling under-appreciated or like you don't matter? Are bills piling up, the kids are struggling, or does life seems meaningless? Have you hit a wall and don't know where to go from here?

Being stressed out or anxiety ridden can leave you feeling like your constantly running and not really getting anywhere. Similarly, when depression hits it can leave you dragging, causing unneeded stress to pile up in your life.

One of the best ways to get out of this type of downward spiral is to find a good listener and adviser. Psycotherapy is an ideal way to gain both of these and to find hope in life once again. Even Kent has benefited from psychotherapy and understands how it can help you move forward when it feels like the running will never end.


Grief Counseling

Grief could come from any type of loss not just death but also the end of relationships, jobs, and dreams that you once held dear. When people are in mourning they need someone to validate their deep feelings and not make light of it. Kent works with people to help them deal with these intense emotions and aids them in working their way through the five stages of grief. In addition to helping his patients, Kent is also well familiar with how grief affects a person as he has personally lost loved ones that were near to his heart.
