Caroline is the reason I believe in therapy again. Her ability to just have a calm conversation discussing the matters at hand but still getting to the root causes is incredible. I could not recommend her and better help enough!

I have now been in therapy with Caroline for about two years and as somebody who has jumped between several therapists, Caroline has been super helpful to me. Her kind ways of helping me understand issues and also suggestions into how to get better are very beneficial. I honestly think I’ll stick to Caroline for lifetime because it’s hard to find a therapist who is this kind and aware about your issues and life. She is also very prompt is responding to text messages and never fails to show up for a session. The kind of attention that Caroline pays to me as a client shows care and concern just like a friend. Absolutely lovely person and an even better therapist :) 10/10 recommended.

Caroline is one of the if not the best Mental health, counselor and therapist that I’ve ever had. That says a lot too, because I have been through a lot of therapist in my life, and I couldn’t be happier that I found her. She is well-versed in an array of different sectors of the mental health field as well as she is always relatable, empathetic, but most of all very realistic. Highly recommend Caroline! Highly!

Caroline Brennan is an amazing therapist. She has excellent professional expertise but also the life experience that makes her not just smart and expert, but also wise. In two short sessions she knew what to do and had sent me superb resources that pinpointed the problems fast. Our third session is tomorrow and for the first time in twenty years I feel hopeful that things can change for the better. She has given me a new way into solving these decades-long problems, and to break the unhealthy and unproductive patterns with my adult daughter. Really top-flight help. My highest respect and recommendation for Caroline Brennan.

Written on Oct 15, 2023 after therapy with Caroline for 2 weeks on issues concerning anger management, bipolar disorder, and adhd
I come from a deeply entrenched and devoutly religious background, where the beliefs and practices have shaped the core of my being. In addition, I identify as a lesbian, which adds another layer of complexity to my personal journey and experiences. Struggling to reconcile these two seemingly conflicting aspects of my identity has often left me feeling isolated and misunderstood. However, amidst this internal turmoil, I have been incredibly fortunate to have found an exceptional therapist; Caroline who has been an unwavering source of support and understanding. Despite her own background and upbringing, she has undertaken the admirable task of delving into the intricate workings of my culture and religion in order to gain insights and a deeper understanding, solely to ensure that I feel heard, validated, and ultimately, better somehow. After just four transformative sessions, I became convinced that she would be my ultimate therapeutic ally. The depth of her compassion and unwavering support was unparalleled, guiding me towards ingenious strategies for navigating life's challenges.

Before Caroline, I was terrified of searching for a therapist.

I really look forward to my sessions every week with her.
