    By Joy Carman, LMHC, NCC, CAGS, BC-TMHP, posted April 14, 2022

    Hello! I’m Joy Carman, a therapist at Bradenton Counseling Center. I have been utilizing EMDR as a therapeutic intervention since 2008 to help clients move forward in their lives. It is a very gentle and empowering therapy which started in working with clients who had experienced past traumatic events and PTSD. Since then, there are […]

    Hoarding

    By Kristie Cochran, posted June 9, 2020

    Hurricane season began on June 1st. In the two times that our family has had to evacuate our home due to a hurricane threat, I was challenged to pack those items which were most valuable to me. That was not an easy choice for me, nor is it for most people. Some clients of Bradenton […]

    By Kristie Cochran, posted May 16, 2020

    My husband and I come from very different backgrounds, which is not unusual for many couples.

    If he/she would just change!

    By Kristie Cochran, posted May 1, 2020

    I have done much couple counseling over the years. Inevitably, during the first session when I am working with a couple to determine what brought them to counseling, one will say something that implies, “If he/she would just change, everything would be ok!” It is so easy to see the speck in another person’s eye […]
