Colby Bruner (He/Him)
Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist | KS, MO, CO, IL
Navigating our relationships and mental health can feel overwhelming, and often, people feel hopeless and like things won't get better. As a narrative-based, attachment therapist, I'm here to help you find hope and offer you tools to better your relationship to yourself and the most important people in your life through story-telling, collaborative conversations, and identifying the tools that will help you get your life (and relationships) back on track. I have experience working with attachment injuries and/or instability, depression, anxiety, and neurodiversity. I also love working with folks navigating the dating and hookup scene, as well as those working to better their work-life balance and create a stronger sense of purpose in their life and career. ​
​
I offer sessions both in-person appointments (on Fridays only) in Shawnee, KS and online through a HIPAA compliant platform Monday through Thursday.
