Message from Therapist

I am Michael Brennan, MA, LMHC, NCC, a Licensed Mental Health Therapist in the Olympia, WA area. 

For over 25 years I have (and continue to) work in the Emergency Center of a local hospital. I repeatedly hear of the need for a local faithful Catholic Counselor in our South Sound community and in 2019 opened a private practice to answer this need.  The name of my therapy practice is, "Veni Sancte Spiritus"  (or "Come Holy Spirit").

My faith, rooted in the Roman Catholic tradition, is central to my life and counseling practice.  I offer a safe therapeutic alliance where you will feel connected, affirmed, and validated.  I will be with you as a witness and partner, walking with you on your journey, empowering you to share your thoughts and feelings, and challenging you to take risks to grow. 

I firmly believe that prayer is central to our relationship with God and that coming to understand God's plan in our lives (including the work we do in counseling) necessitates a commitment to prayer.

Welcome to my counseling practice.

I preferably meet with clients for the first session (90 minutes) in my office.  Thereafter, our (55-minute) sessions are through online Telehealth.

My Standard Pandemic Counseling Practice: I understand there are differing opinions and beliefs about the appropriateness and effectiveness of vaccinations and the wearing of masks.  To ensure an equal standard of practice, I welcome clients to my office who wear a mask.  Anyone who declines to wear a mask, I welcome your engagement for the counseling session through online Telehealth.
