Mr Brendan Finnegan
Social Worker (Mental Health)
“My clinical approach is to create an empowering and safe therapeutic environment, remain focused on an individual's unique strengths, and integrate talk therapy with a variety of other methods including mindfulness and different somatic approaches, and music, drumming, and other artistic mediums.”
About Me
I welcome individuals into an empowering, safe space, focusing on your unique strengths. We blend talk therapy with mindfulness and somatic approaches. This helps you explore feelings words alone might not capture. For some, music, drumming, or other artistic mediums offer powerful ways to connect with inner experiences. This creative, integrated approach suits those seeking deeper self-understanding beyond traditional conversation.
Approach
Sessions move between talk, mindful practice, and gentle somatic and musical experiments so you can notice how shifts feel rather than just describe them. Based in New York and available online, I keep sessions paced to your tolerance—short grounding, focused reflection, and collaborative planning for what you try between meetings. You’ll be invited to use breath, movement, or sound alongside words to untangle transitions, grief, and anxious patterns. This way of working often helps people seeking clear, lived changes in daily life.
