Adam Brandt, PhD, LCMHCA
Adult and Teen Therapist,
Office Location: North Raleigh
EXPERTISE & SPECIAL INTERESTS: Teenagers, young adults and adults, depression and anxiety
concerns, life transitions, identity development, social skills development, obsessive-compulsive
disorder (OCD), value formation and clarification, religion/spirituality/existential concerns,
acceptance and commitment therapy, existential psychotherapy, and mindfulness techniques.
Adam specializes in working with young adults and through life transitions, depression, anxiety,
obsessive-compulsive concerns, identity development, and existential/spiritual/religious
concerns. For clients struggling with OCD, Adam uses exposure and response prevention,
which is the most widely accepted and researched treatment intervention for OCD. For other
mental health concerns, Adam draws upon acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients
take action toward living a meaningful life. Acceptance and commitment therapy teaches clients
to develop a different relationship with their mental health concerns in a way that allows them to
commit to living according to their values. He works with clients to clearly define and commit to
their values while building mindfulness skills (meditation and diffusion techniques). He believes
that a healthy mind is not the absence of distress but the ability to tolerate distress while
pursuing a meaningful life.
Adam develops a humanistic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship with clients. He also is
attentive to respecting, affirming, and honoring people from all walks of life and identities. Adam
believes in putting his clients in control of their own values and life path. He welcomes all
emotions to therapy. He loves getting to know his clients and seeing them for more than just
their mental health concerns. Adam likes to challenge and support his clients while using a
holistic, strength-based approach that empowers his clients.
