Braeden Guter graduated with his Master’s in Counseling from Western in Portland, Oregon. He is trained in a variety of treatment modalities including Adlerian, Brief Solutions Therapy, CBT and DBT. Braeden is experienced in working with teens, adults, and couples. He has experience working with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationships, life-enhancement, and a variety of risks and struggles along the spectrum of life. Braeden also has experience working with severe mental health within the houseless population.
Braeden has a background in consumer sales and public speaking which has helped him be well-acquainted with learning to be comfortable in all stages of expectations and how to move clients from feeling stagnant into manageable goals and boundaries. Fear of the unknown, stress, insecurity, relationship conflict, are just a few of the limiting factors that can make an individual feel they cannot find hope in their current life.
Braeden focuses on finding motivating values and passions that lead to curiosity. When we cannot find excitement in the ordinary, we can feel begin to feel heavy and isolated. As we move closer to our core motivators, we can begin to feel empowered and motivated toward change in all aspects of life. Creating a safe space to explore our identity allows us to reframe our thinking into a life that feels manageable and exciting. When someone feels heard, valued, encouraged, and support they are capable of embracing the freedom that comes in everyday life. Change is difficult and requires courage to make a difference in what we’ve known, but it can also bring about new perspectives that reduce our negative self-talk and enhance overall peace in life.
