I find purpose and satisfaction in providing A.R.T. (Accelerated Resolution Therapy)along with other time tested evidenced-based therapeutic tools. After talk therapy alone, I was continually hijacked by my past experiences and my battery was low. I had repetitive doubts, tears, and triggers. A.R.T. connected new pathways in my brain which allowed me to reset and move forward. Today, I enjoy nature, spending time with family and friends, art, paddle boarding and meditation.

Bryan Truelove

Bryan Truelove

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Winter Garden, FL


I’ve spent the past 18 years helping people work through the parts of life that can feel complicated, overwhelming, or simply stuck. My style as a counselor is conversational, practical, and down to earth. I want counseling to be a place where you can be yourself, talk honestly about what’s going on, and leave with a clearer idea of how to move forward.

I work with adults, couples, and teens dealing with marriage and relationship concerns, ADHD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, men’s issues, spirituality, medical trauma, and disability. I especially enjoy helping people recognize patterns that may be keeping them stuck and find realistic ways to make meaningful changes.

My own experiences shape the way I approach counseling. I’m a husband, father, business owner, and someone who has had to adapt to significant life changes. Losing my sight as an adult gave me a personal understanding of what happens when life doesn’t go according to plan and how those changes can affect relationships, family, independence, career, and confidence.

I don’t believe counseling needs to feel overly clinical. Sometimes you need a place to say what you’re really thinking, work through frustration, gain a different perspective, and figure out what comes next.

My approach includes Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused, and Narrative Therapy. For clients who want faith to be part of counseling, I can also incorporate a Christian perspective.

I earned my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Central Florida in 2008 after completing my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at UCF in 2005. I have worked in private practice since 2008 and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida.

I believe that meaningful change happens when people feel heard, understood, and supported. My goal is to provide a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where we can work together to address life’s challenges, build on your strengths, and help you move toward the life you want to live.

I earned my master’s degree from Columbia University and have completed post-graduate training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based practices. With more than 20 years of experience, I have worked in inpatient medical and psychiatric hospitals, outpatient community mental health, and telehealth settings, helping adults from their 20s through their 80s navigate depression, anxiety, ADHD, chronic illness, stress management, life transitions, relationship challenges, family stress, and caregiving.

My approach is practical, compassionate, and evidence-based, integrating CBT, mindfulness, positive psychology, and other proven strategies to help clients develop lasting skills for emotional well-being. I view therapy as a partnership and believe that each person is the expert on their own life. Together, we’ll identify meaningful goals, overcome obstacles, and celebrate progress along the way.

For clients who wish to incorporate faith or spirituality into therapy, I welcome those conversations with openness and respect. While my own background is rooted in the Catholic faith, I strive to honor each person’s unique beliefs, values, and life experiences.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my two boys and our two dogs on Florida’s Gulf Coast. You’ll often find me at the beach, swimming, paddle boarding, or relaxing with a good book. I believe that nurturing the relationships and activities that bring us joy is an important part of living a healthy, balanced life.

I believe the foundation of meaningful therapy is a strong, genuine relationship. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, challenged enough to grow, and supported every step of the way. I strive to balance compassion with practical, evidence-based strategies so that therapy not only feels validating but also leads to real, lasting change.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, educator, and clinical leader, I bring experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, neurodivergence, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. I tailor therapy to each individual, drawing from approaches such as EMDR, CBT, ACT, attachment-based therapy, Gottman Method, and neurodivergent-affirming care. My hope is that you'll leave each session with greater insight, practical tools, and the confidence that meaningful change is possible.

"I want you to become the expert on you." You are the expert on your own life, but sometimes life layers challenges that make it hard to see the way forward—anxiety that keeps you awake, the heavy weight of grief, or the lingering echoes of trauma. My name is June Pittman, and I founded Positive FX Counseling & Wellness because I believe that even in our darkest chapters, we have the innate capacity to create a 'positive effect' on our own mental well-being.

Based in West Palm Beach, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) dedicated to helping adults and adolescents navigate the complexities of identity and loss. With a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University and a background in organizational systems, I bring a grounded, holistic perspective to the healing process—helping you bridge the gap between where you are and the resilient future you deserve.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Brandon

Searching for therapists in Brandon starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. People often look for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and training that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, which approaches they use, and what you can expect if you book.

Brandon has local therapy options, but the number of in-person appointments may vary by schedule, location, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your search across Florida while still letting you choose someone licensed to provide care in the state. To narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, therapy approach, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Brandon can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, accept your insurance, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can review therapist bios, compare virtual and in-person availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
