I find personal fulfillment in being a small part of someone else’s journey. I know what it is like to struggle with loneliness, intrusive thoughts, and doing anything to fill that void just for a moment. I spent years battling my own challenges on my own before I found a therapist who helped me to expand my perspective, reshape my narrative, and live the life I always wanted. I became a therapist because I wanted to pay it forward; to be that person who can challenge your narrative, to be a part of your healing process, and to help you to be your favorite version of yourself.

-Family Therapy
Our family dynamic was in turmoil, and we were in desperate need of someone who truly understood high-conflict co-parenting situations. From the very first conversation with Brett, I knew he was the right fit for our family. His warmth, empathy, and professionalism immediately put us at ease—and his therapy dog, Harley, was an unexpected bonus our kids absolutely adored.
Brett approached our situation with compassion and care, while remaining mindful of the parameters set by our court documents. He skillfully guided us through some of the most difficult moments, helping us rebuild communication and trust. What once felt impossible slowly became manageable, and eventually, hopeful.
Thanks to Brett’s expertise and support, we’ve been able to restore a healthy co-parenting relationship and lay a new, stronger foundation for our family. I can honestly say our family feels whole again, and we’re excited about what lies ahead. We’re forever grateful.
"we're forever grateful."

My grandson has been seeing Brett Rein of Brett Rein Therapy for approximately six months now and it has been an incredibly positive experience for him and our family. Brett uses many therapeutic techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness applications, which have significantly helped my grandson manage his childhood trauma, PTSD, anxiety and depression. Brett is empathetic, patient, and always makes my grandson feel heard and understood. His ability to create a safe and non-judgmental space is truly remarkable for someone with trust issues. Brett is upfront and honest with my grandson and knows how to interact with him to help him help himself. We have noticed a substantial improvement in my grandson’s moods and coping mechanisms, and he is gradually having a more positive outlook on life. Harley, Brett’s certified therapy dog and partner in all sessions, reads the room like a seasoned professional and knows when to approach my grandson to receive pets and when to give him his space, but is always close by. This is a wonderful team. My grandson looks forward to his time with Brett and Harley and we are truly blessed to have found them.
"This is a wonderful team."

I have been working with Brett since my separation in 2021. He is accessible, honest, transparent, and easy to work with and schedule with. I have grown leaps and bounds in my work with him. I'd strongly recommend him to anyone with struggles in life (business, career, family, fatherhood, motherhood, partnerships, relationships), as he has walked me through all of it. Thanks, Brett. I want you to know that I appreciate your help.

-Adult and teenager, male, individual therapy
I’ve been working with Brett as my talk therapist, and I can confidently say he’s been exceptional. He’s never made me feel uncomfortable, always listens with compassion, and brings thoughtful insight into every session. His genuine interest and empathy have been key in helping me navigate some of the most difficult aspects of my life.
As someone with significant combat experience in the military, I’ve carried deep-rooted depression and anxiety. Brett has given me the tools and coping strategies I needed to manage those struggles—and more importantly, to rediscover joy and peace amidst them.
What makes Brett even more remarkable is that he’s also helped my teenage child through incredibly difficult circumstances after they were the victim of sexual assault by a school social worker. His support and guidance have made a meaningful difference in both of our lives.
I highly recommend Brett. I’m deeply grateful for everything he’s done and for the healing path he’s helped us both walk.

Brett Rein is a pillar of support for young men navigating mental health challenges. As a single mother of two sons, I first met Brett through my role as a school administrator. After just one conversation, I knew my boys would benefit greatly from working with him.
Since then, Brett has helped both of my sons work through various personal struggles. They feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely enjoy their time with him. Brett approaches each session with purpose—it's not just about talking, but about building a plan that fits their individual needs. His goal-oriented style gives my sons the tools they need as they grow into confident, emotionally intelligent men.
In a society where men are often stigmatized for expressing emotions, Brett actively works to dismantle that harmful narrative. He encourages open communication, emotional awareness, and practical strategies for managing difficult feelings. Because of him, my sons are not only more self-aware but also empowered to handle life’s emotional challenges in healthy ways.
As an educator with 23 years of experience, I’ve also seen firsthand the impact Brett has on our students. He’s become a trusted and consistent resource for our school community. Remarkably, Brett often goes out of his way—even on his days off—to meet with students who lack the resources or parental support to access mental health care. Every single student I’ve referred to Brett has made a meaningful connection with him.

I highly recommend Brett Rein. He is a caring, sincere and well informed therapist. He helped our family resolve a contentious divorce, as he always stands for the well being of the children. He rescued my 15 year old from extreme anxiety and stood for me in court. I am ever grateful for his wisdom and expertise. He was always available and supportive in times of crisis.

Over the past two years Brett has supported me through a variety of unexpected life challenges.

I am so grateful for his consistent, compassionate support and couldn’t ask for a better therapist!

I highly recommend Brett Rein for your individual, couples, or group therapy needs. As a divorce attorney, I have met, spoken with, and been involved with many therapists. None are more compassionate, knowledgeable, and effective than Brett. Brett is not just the therapist you need; he is the therapist you want.

Brett Rein and Harley, his therapy dog help so many people. My teenager has been seeing Brett to help with anxiety, confidence, and PTSD. My teenager had other therapists before Brett and they were ineffective. Brett has made a difference, not only in my teenager's life, but for my husband and I as well. You won't find another therapist who cares as much as Brett does.

I started sessions with Brett 3 years ago. Throughout these 3 years Brett has shown me nothing but compassion and care.He has given me amazing insight and he truly has gone above and beyond to help me get to where I am at today. Before seeing Brett I did not have a positive experience with therapy at all, I felt judged and like I wasn’t actually cared for. However, with Brett it has been totally different. I know that I can talk about anything and it is always such a safe place to express myself and share my struggles. Brett is such a genuine and empathetic person, I could not ask for a better therapist. I would not have the emotional and psychological growth that I have now without him.

We were fortunate to meet Brett when our teenage son was in distress and we were struggling to find a way to support him. Brett was able to connect with our son and together they untangled the layers of the issue and set a course to move forward. Brett helped our family during a challenging time; he restored our son's confidence and brought his joy back. Perhaps most importantly, Brett showed him that therapy is a tool he can return to in the future when he feels stuck.

Brett possesses an exceptional level of perception that is uncommon even among therapists. His ability to see and discern his clients extends to their interpersonal relationships as well. Brett's fluency in family dynamics - especially with respect to parent-teen relationships - has been a game changer in my own family. It's equipped me with invaluable tools to best support myself and the ones I love the most. I'm so grateful for his wisdom and insight, and I'm not sure where we'd be without him!

I came to Brett 2.5 years ago in one of the worst mental places I’d been. I had just medically withdrawn from college and had no idea where I wanted my life to go let alone how to get through each day. Brett helped me work through past trauma while also developing strategies for self-care, setting boundaries, and constructive communication. He has encouraged me to continue to grow every day and helped me discover what I find fulfilling in a career. Needless to say, I’ve already referred Brett to both of my sisters and my best friend and would continue to recommend him to anyone who needs support and guidance through a difficult time or is looking to meet goals they may have otherwise never thought achievable. Brett will get you there one way or another.

We have had various mental health professionals over the years in support of our son. Our son struggled with rumination, anxiety and C-PTSD amongst other issues. Brett almost immediately understood the behaviors and issues and could pinpoint why they were occurring in a very short amount of time. He kept us appropriately updated while still honoring our son’s growth process and had a “can-do” attitude with our son that rubbed off on him as well. After just a few months of weekly sessions not only did our son look forward to the sessions, but most importantly, we saw massive progress in his development, processing, anxiety and he was learning to use his resources and self soothe in a way that prepared our son for more social experiences, as well as high school. Everyone has noticed a difference and we are deeply grateful! Thank you Brett!

Hi Brett, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose.

We had the good fortune of connecting with Brett Rein and we’ve shared our conversation below. Hi Brett, how do you think about risk? Risk taking boils down to one question for me typically: do I feel that the potential happiness in the unknown is greater than the comfort I currently feel? That has meant different things at different times. The first risk I took came after reading the book “The Last Lecture” by Randy Pausch.
