Brandon Chatfield
Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Arizona. I received my Masters Degree from Ottawa University and have been practicing for 12 years. I help people overcome and manage anxiety and depression. I provide CBT tools that help positively impact people's lives.
I also use current research in neuroscience to help people understand their mental experience and hopefully gain more literacy into what they are experiencing to empower change.

First session
Your first session with me will be different from future visits. The initial visit is a period for you and me to get to know each other and get an idea of how to proceed. A thorough assessment will be completed as well as a discussion on your preliminary goals. Future visits will be more therapeutic. For example, in your second session, you may explore a specific symptom, problem, or past trauma you mentioned in the first session.
Strengths
I think my greatest strength is my experience. I have discipline in understanding clients’ needs. I have always tried to become better at understanding people by active listening and therapeutic attending behavior. I have a good understanding of diverse client Populations. I have worked with a diverse population and counseled people with a wide range of diagnoses. Also, many people I have worked with have dual diagnoses and struggle with not only mental illness but substance use issues. I think my passion for helping others also helps me be a compassionate and caring listener.
Ideal clients
I love working with adults who are ready to understand themselves better, overcome mental and emotional struggles, and create meaningful change in their lives. My approach is grounded in the belief that people can develop the skills and psychological tools necessary to navigate adversity, manage difficult emotions, strengthen relationships, and move forward with greater confidence and purpose. I help clients identify the patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that may be holding them back while developing practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, relationship challenges, and other life difficulties. Rather than simply focusing on what is wrong, I work collaboratively with clients to identify their strengths, build psychological flexibility, develop resilience, and translate insight into meaningful action. My goal is to help people become more capable of handling life, not by eliminating every struggle, but by developing the mindset, skills, and self-understanding necessary to face challenges with greater clarity, strength, and intention.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT aims to help people identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and learn practical self-help strategies. During CBT, a therapist will encourage people to talk about their thoughts, feelings, and what's troubling them. I use CBT to I identify and examine thoughts and behaviors and how they can be improved to improve emotional wellbeing.
