Get to know PHA psychotherapist, Brenda Thomas—what inspires her, what she loves about her work, and the impact she strives to make every day.
Why did you become a therapist?
I love to talk, I’m naturally curious (my husband calls it being nosey), and I have a deep memory bank for people’s stories. Getting to know people and helping them figure out ways to live healthier, happier lives is truly rewarding.
If you could visit any place in the world, where would it be & why?
Greece—the landscape, color palette, and culture speak for themselves!
What do your clients or coworkers love/appreciate about you?
I’m real, honest, and authentic. I don’t have a poker face—what you see is what you get!
What is one of the latest good books or podcasts you’ve read or listened to?
The Mel Robbins Podcast—she’s truly authentic, no BS, and gives great advice!
What do you like best about working with PHA?
Our admin team is so responsive! Their efficiency allows me to focus on my clients and be more effective in my work.
Is there anything else you’d like to share?
I truly love what I do. My clients’ unique stories engage my curiosity and drive to understand people better, helping them grow and change. Every day in this work feels special.
