My name is Brian Abshere and I graduated from Harding University with a Master’s degree of Science and an advanced Master’s Degree in Education. I am trained in EMDR--Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, and utilizes this in my practice. I have also received trauma training and some Gottman training that I find helpful to use with some of my clients. I have been providing mental health services to children, adolescents, adults, and families for over 20+ years in the River Valley area.

"I enjoy helping people from all walks of life discover personal strategies for overcoming obstacles in reaching their goals."

As a professional therapist, my primary therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, when working on helping clients to reach their goals. When entering into a therapeutic relationship, that relationship needs to be built on trust and understanding in a safe, unbiased, and non-judgmental environment. I have a compassionate approach to treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, school adjustment, past trauma, PTSD, anger issues, and other behavioral or emotional concerns.

When I am not in my office, I enjoy riding my Harley Davidson with my wife, who also rides a Harley Davidson, on short and long trips. I enjoying camping, fishing, and hiking outdoors.
