Brian Ronnenberg, LPC, NCC, 200 RYT
Licensed Counselor, Yoga Teacher, Surf Instructor
With 14 years experience of counseling, surf therapy, and yoga instruction, I've found a very adaptive approach to mental health. I am approaching a client from a mental, physical, and social look. We look at stressors, relationships, physical health, addictions as well as working with thoughts (anxiety, sadness, trauma, etc). Each treatment plan is different based on what is going to work best and be the most achievable for each individual.
I have certifications in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Yoga, Breathwork, Surf Coaching, as well as my LPC. I've been teaching yoga, breathe, and mediation for 5 years and have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds. Come have a chat!
Therapeutic Specialties
Breathwork and Meditation
This is something that can be THE answer or simply just a tool to add to the other ideas that we work with. Guided meditation, breathwork, and other forms of mindful practices give our bodies and minds a chance to shake off the stress or heaviness from the day and give us healing in a variety of ways. Especially with the amount of time and stress people put into their careers in today's lifestyle, people are in need of a balance to keep them grounded and healthy. Chronic stress is rampant in our culture and is something that is completely under our control with the right tools.
Trauma
Several of us have experiences that we still experience stress, nightmares, or panic from. This is simply our mind and body clinging to a memory and responding it to it as if it was happening HERE and NOW. Letting go of this cycle requires a little work. This work has always been most effective in a setting where ALL the external variables (triggers) can be controlled to the highest degree. I hold a certification in EMDR as well as years of experience holding space and helping others work through to let go and reprogram their nervous system to stop experiencing the trauma loop.
Relationships
Relationships come in a variety of forms and can be anything from friendship to a life partner. When you are around someone for long enough conflict is bound to happen. We can often begin to experience these conflicts in a cycle and may have difficulty breaking this cycle. Healthy communication, clear expectations, and boundaries are very important. Therapy will focus on finding common goals, identifying unhealthy patters, and practicing a new way of interacting and experiencing one another within a judgement free space.
Depression and Anxiety
Some people say anxiety lives in the future and sadness in the past. The reality is that most people are feeling both on any given day. Learning to work through or let go of our cycles and find new outlets for processing these emotions usually lets go of a HUGE burden, and stops the cycle from repeating. There are SO many ways to do this, but our old habits, environment, and genetics can make it difficult. There is always space to grow and let go. We can explore the HOW.
