Brian Hewes, therapist in AL, smiling wearing glasses and a blue checkered shirt

Hello and welcome!

I am passionate about creating a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their stories, navigate challenges, and discover new paths forward. My work is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and respect for each client's unique journey.

I enjoy working with men, women, and teens navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life's challenges. I also specialize in supporting first responders, individuals experiencing career burnout, and those adjusting to fatherhood, parenthood, and other major life transitions.

Before stepping into the role of therapist, I built an extensive career that uniquely shaped my perspective today. My background includes school social work, where I supported students and families in navigating academic and emotional challenges, and child advocacy work, where I championed the needs of vulnerable children and their families. In addition, my years as an analyst gave me a keen ability to look at situations from multiple angles, recognize patterns, and think critically about problem-solving. Together, these experiences allow me to approach therapy with both compassion and insight, helping clients see their challenges,and their strengths from a fresh perspective.

My hope is that you learn to trust yourself, recognize your strengths, and believe in the possibilities ahead.

Clients can expect a compassionate and supportive environment where they can show up authentically. I strive to offer practical tools, gentle guidance, and encouragement along the way. My goal is to help clients not only find relief from immediate struggles but also build long-term resilience and confidence.

Therapeutic Approaches

My therapeutic approach is client-centered and strengths-based, with an emphasis on building genuine connections and trust. I use CBT, DBT, Brainspotting, and other evidence-based approaches to help clients challenge negative thought patterns, develop coping skills, and focus on what they can control.

A little more personal

What are things you like to do for fun?

I enjoy playing golf, spending time with family and friends, cooking, and obviously eating! I’m also a big sports fan and proudly support the New Orleans Saints (Who Dat!), New York Yankees, and Manchester United.

What’s something you’re irrationally passionate about?

The Tour de France. I started watching during COVID, and now it completely takes over my life every July. I watch every single stage from start to finish, even the six-hour ones where seemingly nothing happens. And if you show even the slightest bit of interest, I will happily talk your ear off about it.

What’s your most useless talent?

Remembering completely random sports trivia, especially where players went to college, while forgetting why I walked into a room.

What’s a completely unnecessary purchase that brought you an unreasonable amount of joy?

A fantasy football trophy for a work league that nobody asked me to start (and yes, I have now forced H&T therapists into fantasy football too).

What’s your most embarrassing comfort TV show?

The Great British Bake Off. It’s ridiculously wholesome. Everyone is genuinely nice, competitors actually help each other, and the biggest drama is an underbaked sponge cake. Somehow I’ve become a grown man who gets emotionally invested in strangers making biscuits.

What I hope you feel after our first therapy session:

That you felt genuinely heard and understood. Even if we don’t solve any major hurdles that day, I want you to leave knowing you have someone in your corner who cares.
