Brent Baynon

Brent Baynon

Therapist

Virtual • New York


As your therapist, I strive to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. My therapeutic style is rooted in what I like to call gentle directness. I believe meaningful growth happens when clients feel both supported and appropriately challenged. I provide a warm, compassionate space where you can be yourself, while also offering honest feedback, thoughtful questions, and practical guidance when it's helpful. I won't simply listen, I will actively help you identify patterns, build insight, and develop strategies that move you toward your goals. My hope is that you leave each session feeling heard, understood, and equipped with something valuable to carry into your daily life.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, divorce, self-esteem issues, and trauma. My approach is individualized, recognizing that every person's experiences and goals are unique. I integrate evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and strengths-based interventions to help clients create meaningful, lasting change.

Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I look forward to working with you on your journey toward growth and healing.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


Many people reaching out to me have been looking for the same thing: someone who can see the full picture. I am Catherine, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, and offer something rare: both medication management and therapy with a single provider. After 20 years in healthcare, including a decade as a family NP, I came to psychiatric care because I saw how inseparable mental and physical health are. My goal is that every appointment leaves you feeling heard, supported, and cared for.
