Dr Brent Conrad, MA

Clinical Psychologist

“I provide evidence-based solution-focused therapy for most mental health issues as well as comprehensive assessments for learning disabilities and ADHD. I am the owner of Green Leaf Psychological Services in Halifax, Nova Scotia.”

About Me

Feeling stuck with mental health challenges? I offer a collaborative space focused on finding practical solutions that build on your strengths. We work together to clarify your goals, equipping you with tools to navigate life’s complexities effectively. My approach is ideal if you seek clear, actionable steps forward. I also provide thorough assessments for ADHD or learning disabilities, offering a comprehensive understanding.

Approach

When things feel overwhelming, my focus is on translating goals into small, practical steps you can try between sessions. I meet with clients in English from my Halifax office or online across Nova Scotia, and I pace work to match your day-to-day demands. Sessions combine short skill practice, values-guided choices and straightforward tracking so progress stays visible and useful. That structure tends to help people who want steady, realistic change without unnecessary complexity.
