Dr. Brenner is a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive expertise in helping adults navigate trauma- and stressor-related disorders, anxiety, depression, grief, and sleep difficulties. She provides compassionate, evidence-based care, drawing from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). She is a registered CPT and CBT-I provider, as well as a certified PE consultant. Her style is collaborative, curious, and nonjudgmental, with a focus on understanding each client’s unique values, goals, and life experiences. Dr. Brenner works to help clients reduce distress, build resilience, and re-engage in a meaningful life after hardship or loss. She is skilled in treating complex and co-occurring concerns, including Prolonged Grief Disorder, moral injury, and posttraumatic stress, and tailors treatment to fit each individual’s needs. Prior to her current private practice, Dr. Brenner spent nearly a decade at Home Base, a Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital program dedicated to serving veterans, service members, and their families, and held an academic appointment as an Instructor in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. This background continues to inform her work, which integrates clinical expertise, research-informed care, and a deep commitment to helping people heal and thrive.
