Your mind doesn’t slow down — overthinking, anxiety, or constant mental pressure

You feel stuck, unmotivated, or mentally drained, even with simple tasks

Staying organized, focused, or on track feels harder than it should

You’re managing a health condition that’s taking a toll emotionally

You’ve tried to “push through,” but things still aren’t getting easier

You’re not sure what kind of support you need — just that something needs to change

About Our Practice

At Piece By Piece Neurobehavioral Services, we take a structured, neuro-informed approach to therapy. Our work is guided not only by your experiences, but also by an understanding of how underlying brain processes can shape behavior, emotions, and daily functioning.

We begin by understanding your concerns and thoughtfully matching you with a therapist who aligns with your needs. From there, we work collaboratively to break challenges into manageable pieces and build strategies that feel realistic and effective.

We also offer additional support when needed, including testing, consultations, and guidance around school or educational planning — helping ensure care is connected and comprehensive.

We Can Help You With:

  • Anxiety & Stress: Understand triggers, reduce overwhelm, and build strategies that help you stay grounded.

  • Depression & Low Mood: Address patterns that keep you feeling stuck and work toward consistent, meaningful progress.

  • ADHD & Focus Challenges: Develop tools to improve attention, organization, and daily functioning, using strategies informed by how the brain manages focus and executive skills.

  • Executive Function Coaching: Build skills for planning, time management, organization, and follow-through in daily life.

  • Social Skills & Everyday Functioning: Strengthen communication, confidence, and connection in daily life.

FAQs

How can therapy help me?

Therapy gives you a space to slow down and better understand what you’re going through. Together, we look at patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and work on practical ways to manage challenges like anxiety, depression, stress, or difficulty focusing. Over time, many people feel more clear, more steady, and better equipped to handle everyday life.

What issues do you help with?

We support children and adults with a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, and difficulties with focus, organization, and daily functioning.

We also work with individuals navigating chronic illness, pain, and the emotional impact that can come with ongoing health concerns. For those needing more structured support, we offer executive function coaching to help with planning, time management, and follow-through.

Our approach is neuro-informed, meaning we consider how brain processes like attention, regulation, and behavior may be contributing to what you're experiencing — so care can be better tailored to your needs.

If you’re not exactly sure where your situation fits, that’s completely okay. We can talk it through and help guide you toward the right support.

What can I expect from my first session?

We start with a 15-minute consultation where we take the time to understand what’s bringing you in and what kind of support you’re looking for. From there, we match you with a therapist who fits your needs. Your first full session will be more in-depth, giving you space to share your experiences and begin building a plan together.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes, we accept a range of insurance plans, including BCBS PPO, select HMOs, UHC/Optum, Aetna, Medicare, and BlueCross Community (Medicaid).

If you’re unsure about your coverage, our scheduling team can help you understand your benefits and walk you through what to expect before getting started.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person sessions?

For many people, yes. Online therapy offers flexibility and convenience while still providing meaningful, structured support. It allows you to attend sessions from a comfortable space, which can make it easier to stay consistent.

How do I get started?

Getting started is simple. You can begin by scheduling a free 15-minute consultation, where we’ll talk through what you’re looking for and answer any initial questions. From there, we’ll match you with a therapist who fits your needs and help you schedule your first session. The goal is to make the process feel clear, comfortable, and easy from the very beginning.

See what others are saying

Fantastic! Brady does an excellent job of helping me identify the core issues bothering me and helping me treat these areas. I’ve had great success using the techniques he taught me and feel more at peace and comfortable with my past and present. I highly recommend Brady to anybody who needs somebody to talk to in therapy.

Brady is truly an amazing leader and counselor. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to change their lives and seeking freedom. He is empathetic, kind and seeks to understand those he serves. As I met with Brady for sessions, and was part of a team he lead, I learned about what grace truly means and how to give grace to others. Under his guidance and leadership I became a better person and a much better leader.
