About Brenda Marquardt, LCSW

When you’re in session with Brenda, you’ll feel like you’re sitting with someone who truly cares about your wants and needs. You’ll be seen with caring eyes and enjoy a warm smile. Both in-person and telehealth sessions are set up to create space for balanced exploration of what wellness means to you.

Brenda can help clients to overcome, stress, anxiety, depression, relational struggles, and to understand how the mind and body are connected. As a client-centered and curious therapist, she attunes to the individual seeking support, and builds off their current and past resources and explores areas of interest. Brenda utilizes somatic-based mindfulness activities, CBT, and narrative therapy to help clients understand how unresolved stress is held in both the body and in our beliefs about the world. She’s also an EMDR therapist and has additional training in treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Brenda has worked in community mental health offering supportive services to women who have been affected by traumatic stress, and with racially, ethnically, culturally and gender diverse individuals. She honors every person’s uniqueness and aims to learn from those with whom she has the privilege to work.
