Licensed Professional Counselor
Hi, my name is William Brinati and I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2017, and I graduated with my M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Trinity Christian College in 2016. I am passionate about walking alongside people in their journey of life through the therapeutic setting and am committed to the goals of being a part of relieving suffering, treating mental disorders, and helping my clients reach their goals. I primarily use CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) which are used widely in the counseling world and have been effective for treating a wide range of mental health disorders. They have been effective with my clients in treating disorders and issues such as depression, anxiety, addiction, and trauma. I also treat relational issues, do couples and marriage counseling, and work with people of all ages. CBT and ACT are two types of therapy that work to change negative patterns of thinking and behavior, which are connected to emotions and the way we feel, and work on present moment awareness, use meditations, and work on diffusing from negative thoughts. I also earned my M.A. in Biblical Studies from Wheaton College in 2021, so I am willing to offer insight on theological, spiritual, or religious questions or issues if the client wants to explore them or include them in therapy. Prior to working at Mental Health Solutions, I have worked as an addictions counselor, private practice counselor, and in-home care provider since 2014. I believe that through the therapeutic relationship, diligence, and proven types of clinical therapy and tools there can be hope and healing in your life. I strive for tangible results, improvement, and breakthrough in my clients’ lives. You are not alone and things really can get better. Thank you for reading, and I hope you consider taking this step toward therapy.
