About me

I originally started my career as a musician and then fell into social work for my masters. I have spent the majority of my time working with youth and adolescents and LGBTQ groups, but many issues have universality. I believe that no approach is one size fits all and I have experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I will gear the therapy towards a process that is best for you and your therapeutic goals. There might be times when I give you some hard tasks and give you difficult questions to answer, but the goal is for you to reflect the current state of your emotions and how is the best way for you to work through the change you wish to see

Jared has been extremely helpful in helping me deal with some current and past problems. Not injecting any of his opinion, he listens and encourages me to trust my self. Without his guidance, I feel that I would be in the same situation I’ve been in for the last several years.

Brayton listens and does a great job of clarifying things so you walk away with actionable goals. He’s very understanding

Great at listening to my problems and providing me achievable goals to take steps towards goals we set together. Also very understanding in hard times.

I have been working with Jared Brayton Bollenbacher for two months. He has been an incredible support to me as I have worked through difficult personal issues. I am so thankful for his clear and compassionate advice, listening when I needed to talk, helping me set new goals, and celebrating when those goals were largely accomplished. I don’t think I would have made such progress without his help. I’m so grateful! Thank you, Brayton!

Patient, kind, understanding yet tells it like it is. Supportive & guides with questions and/or homework that is effective

Brayton is welcoming, understanding and is a guide along my path for therapy. He is just a cool dude. I am thankful for being paired with him.
