My name is Brayden Pitcher, and I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor residing in Lethbridge. I enjoy spending time with my family, going on adventures, and constantly wishing that the wind would stop blowing! I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Lethbridge and earned my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. Since graduating, I have been striving to help individuals in all facets of society, both locally in Lethbridge and virtually across Canada. I have always had a sincere desire to help others overcome their challenges, become better versions of themselves, and find healing, no matter what stage of life they may be in.
I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from the University of Lethbridge and a Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. Currently, I am completing additional training and certifications in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, the Gottman Method Level 1 (for couples), Clinical Anxiety Treatment, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy interventions, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). This training has enabled me to work with individuals in both clinic/agency settings and privately.
I take a more integrated approach to therapy, using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) as my core modalities. CBT helps clients recognize and change negative thought patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and improve emotional regulation. EFT focuses on deepening emotional connections, healing relational wounds, and fostering secure attachments. Together, they provide a balanced approach to both cognitive and emotional well-being. I strive to provide a supportive, tailored approach to each individual's needs. My philosophical approach to counselling and mental health is that, as human beings, we all have the skills and understanding to overcome the challenges we face. Sometimes, we just need a little help in discovering what those are for ourselves. I do not pretend to have all the answers, but as we work together, the hope is that we can collaborate in finding solutions, learn how to make and embrace change, and find healing in the therapeutic journey.
My experience has primarily involved working with adults and youth aged 12 and over. However, I have been extending my practice to include younger youth and children. With my experience, I have a special interest in supporting individuals who are striving to manage anxiety, stress, burnout, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, and grief, which are often associated with life’s many changes. I also have experience and a growing desire to support and strengthen couples who are going through relationship struggles and help them find healing as they grow and develop together.
