Authenticity
Furst Therapy specializes in helping you find your authentic self by avoiding the overwhelming question of “Who Am I?” and replacing it with “Who Am I Not?” We all learn ways to protect ourselves from the world; some are true to us, and others are thrust upon us. Learn to separate the noise from the truth, and bring yourself more into focus.
Adoption
Dr. Brett specializes in treating adult adoptees, and has spent his career researching and refining an approach to helping adults that struggle with the aftermath of their adoption. Dr. Brett is adopted himself, but knows that each adoptee is unique. We look forward to hearing your story and helping you craft individualized solutions.
Addiction
Addiction is a disease of escapism, and comes from trying to find a solution to a problem that seems insurmountable. Let us help you find the factors that motivate your symptoms of substance use, and help you move forward into the life that you want for yourself. Dr. Brett is an addiction specialist, and focuses specifically on the intersection between adoption and addiction.
