Why Meir Hersh Brach, LMSW chose to be in the helping profession

I became a therapist because I am dedicated to supporting people in their journey of growth and self-discovery. The path to understanding oneself can be challenging, and I am passionate about walking that path alongside my clients.

Meir Hersh Brach, LMSW's approach

As a therapist, my goal is to help you achieve your personal aspirations by exploring and understanding your emotions. When you’re feeling stuck or facing challenges, we will work together to uncover and address the deeper feelings and thought patterns that might be holding you back. Think of therapy as a mirror that reflects hidden emotional issues, enabling you to see and address them, ultimately affecting your progress.

My approach focuses on processing emotions, gaining self-awareness, and learning to relate better to your internal parts. We will figure out how you might be contributing to your challenges and explore healthier ways of relating to yourself and your life. With my training in psychoanalytic therapy, I am dedicated to helping you tackle these core issues, so we can concentrate on your goals and make meaningful improvements in your life.
