Breanna Freeborn, LPCC

Hi! I'm an integrative licensed therapist (LPCC) specializing in work with clients who have experienced trauma, anxiety, and mood disorders. I'm passionate about how non-ordinary states of consciousness can be a catalyst for growth and kick off new ways of thinking/feeling/being with oneself and in the world. I see the value in being flexible with my approach to honor each client's needs and personal style, so I draw from many clinical orientations. I use psychodynamic approaches, which focuses on how our past impacts us now; attachment theory, which emphasizes our human need for connection and bonds; existential, which explores meaning and purpose; ACT, which focuses on acceptance, values, and psychological flexibility. I also incorporate ART, internal family systems (IFS) or body-based awareness, especially when working with individuals who’ve experienced trauma. I frequently work with individuals who are first responders, musicians or creatives, the "rough around the edges" crowd, and/or part of “counter-culture.” I also work with those who are self-identified rule-followers, perfectionistic, and feel stuck or rigid in the way they are living, and with parents. Regardless of the person, I often to explore each person's healing potential and “higher self” to build trust in themselves, and ultimately cultivate more authentic lives. A common aim is to move beyond feeling defined and trapped by the struggles one has experienced, orienting toward meaning and purpose. On both a personal and clinical level, I'm fascinated by Jungian archetypes, dreams, nature, music and art, and how humans use symbols to convey deeper meaning. In therapy, I find it powerful and effective to integrate these concepts as well as use visualization, mindfulness, and metaphors. I balance using these approaches while also incorporating neuroscience, research, and psychoeducation to empower clients.
