Brad Schlosser

At the intersection of compassion and clinical expertise lies the practice of Brad Schlosser, a Registered Clinical Social Work Intern and the innovative founder of St. Petersburg Psychotherapy. Driven by a profound belief that all individuals deserve lives filled with peace, joy, and love, Brad has dedicated his career to helping people heal, grow, and actualize their potential.

Brad's therapeutic approach is as multifaceted as the human experience itself. He draws from a rich tapestry of theoretical influences, seamlessly integrating attachment theory, schema therapy, compassion-based techniques, and existential perspectives. This holistic methodology allows him to address the complex interplay between an individual's past experiences, current challenges, and future aspirations.

At the core of Brad's practice is a deep understanding of the pivotal role that secure attachment plays in emotional well-being. He recognizes that many psychological conditions are rooted in insecure attachment patterns, and works diligently to create a therapeutic environment that fosters healing and growth. By exploring the constellation of core beliefs that shape his clients' perceptions of themselves and their relationships, Brad helps individuals uncover and reframe distorted thought patterns that may be hindering their progress.

Brad's commitment to compassion-based therapy is evident in his emphasis on cultivating self-compassion as a critical tool for emotional wellness. He guides clients in developing a kinder, more nurturing relationship with themselves, recognizing this as a foundational step towards overall mental health. Simultaneously, his incorporation of existential perspectives encourages clients to grapple with life's fundamental questions, using these explorations as catalysts for profound healing and personal growth.

Understanding that individuals are deeply affected by their social contexts, Brad employs a systems theory approach in his work. This allows him to help clients navigate the complex interplay between their individual experiences and the broader social systems they inhabit. His trauma-informed practice acknowledges the impact of overwhelming experiences on the nervous system, equipping clients with tools to restore balance and resilience.

At St. Petersburg Psychotherapy, Brad offers a range of services including individual counseling, couples counseling, and family counseling. His versatile skill set allows him to tailor his approach to each client's unique needs, whether they're struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or seeking personal growth. With a deep faith in the human capacity for healing, Brad creates a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore their challenges, discover their strengths, and work towards living more authentic, fulfilling lives.
