Brenda Kamenetsky

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York. For over a decade, I’ve worked with teens, adults, and families as they navigate anxiety, depression, relationship stress, suicidality, and the overwhelming emotions that come with navigating complex life transitions.

In therapy, I strive to create a supportive, grounded space where clients can make sense of their inner experience and learn practical tools to move forward. My approach blends evidence-based treatments with warmth and collaboration. Whether you’re seeking structure, insight, or new ways to cope, my goal is to help you feel seen and supported as you make meaningful change.

My Philosophy

I offer a grounded, collaborative space where clients can safely explore what’s working, what’s not, and what they’d like to change. My approach integrates evidence-based practices—including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic theory, and Gestalt therapy—with a focus on increasing insight, improving coping strategies, learning practical skills, and building tolerance and acceptance for life’s pain and uncertainty. 

I believe each person is the expert of their own life. In my therapy room, I am here to learn all about you, to see you. Together, we figure out how I can be most supportive and helpful to you in your journey. Your goals are my goals.

Whether you’re navigating persistent anxiety or depression, struggling to find peace and contentment, or feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, I offer a space where you don’t have to go it alone. My work is especially grounded in personal connection and skill building, and I hold a deep belief that healing—even in the most painful moments—is possible.
