Brett Clemons began his career in the construction industry following community college. Here, he worked in the DC and Baltimore areas for two years as a site superintendent, leading commercial projects of various sizes.
In 2018, Brett decided to start his own residential remodeling business as a home improvement contractor in the Anne Arundel County area. After careful consideration, he chose to return to finish a Bachelor’s Degree at Liberty University. This change of pace led to his decision to pursue a graduate program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Liberty University.
Brett has attended training in individual, group, spiritual, and crisis counseling so as to offer a well-rounded approach to clients with varying needs. He has been exposed to many years of diverse business, religious, and social environments from which to learn effective communication and listening skills from.
Why Brett Became a Therapist
I became a therapist because of my passion for growth and healing. Fostering a better relationship with oneself is the precursor to forming better relationships with others and the world around you. After pursuing other career options, I realized that this helping profession was fulfilling in a way that was unique to counseling. This has been the kindest and most growth-centered environment that I’ve experienced to date and I can’t wait to share it with others in our community.
How Brett Lives Authentically
I love to spend time outdoors as often as possible, preferably around forests. Living an active lifestyle to promote holistic wellness is deeply important to me because personal health is one of the most precious investments that we can make. I also enjoy starting deep conversations about sociology and psychology with my friends around a bonfire or playing guitar to unwind during my free time.
