Hi. My name is Brian Raymond. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Idaho and have been practicing in the Treasure Valley in various therapeutic environments since 2007. I know how helpful it can be to get a feel for someone before making the decision to schedule an appointment with them. Deciding to get started with a new counselor can be nerve wracking for some so I want to do anything I can to ease that anxiety before our first session. From my years of experience as a counselor working with people from all walks of life, it has equipped me to understand and empathize with a vast majority of mental, emotional, and relational issues clients contend with. I have a unique and personalized treatment approach inspired by my personal and professional experiences. I have a deep empathy and understanding of most people across the majority of demographics. I am non-judgmental as I try my best to put myself in the other person’s shoes and then see the situation from ALL angles. I gently help you see other angles too and we work together to help you meet the goals you started coming to counseling for.
