Talk to Brendan

An hour with someone who gets it.

Sessions aren't currently open. Join the waitlist and you'll be the first to know when they are.

What this is

Not therapy, not structured coaching. There's no workbook and no homework. You don't have to arrive with a goal or leave with an action plan.

You can talk about the person you lost. You can vent about everyone who said 'everything happens for a reason.' You can ask the questions you can't ask people who haven't been through it, or say the things that scare your family. We can also just sit there. That counts too.

I'm not a therapist and I won't pretend to be one. My brother Philip was murdered. I'm writing a book grief and his story, and I've spent years talking with grievers every single day. Sometimes lived experience is exactly the qualification you need. When it isn't, I'll say so and help you find someone licensed.

The details

Sessions are 60 minutes, on Zoom or by phone. I'll only hold a small number of spots each month so I can be fully present for each one. Pricing and booking details will be announced when sessions are open.

This isn't the right fit if

You're in crisis or having thoughts of ending your life. Call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. That's not a brush-off. It's the fastest path to someone equipped for right now.

You need diagnosis, treatment, or medication support. That's a licensed therapist or doctor, and I'm glad to point you toward directories for finding one.

While you wait

Start with the free 7-day course. It's the practical side of what I do. A tool to hopefully take some of the edge off and feel understood. Sessions are the sitting-with-you side.

I'm not a licensed therapist, counselor, or medical professional, and sessions aren't a substitute for professional mental health care.
