Braden Cary

My journey began in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where I was born and raised. I earned a master’s in clinical counselling while in the US, later recognized by the University of Gdańsk, where I now live. I started my career helping families at a local clinic, then spent three years in a hospital supporting adults with substance use, eating disorders, behavioral health issues, and TBI.

I’ve run a private online practice since 2017.  What I’ve learned is that real change happens through relationship. My main approach is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), supported by existential therapy, cognitive-behavioural skills, and mindfulness. I believe the connection between us is 99% of the “magic” to getting your life back on track.

I help people who feel stressed, struggle with low self-esteem, or face relational distress restore their determination and authenticity. Together, we learn to thrive alongside emotions—not fight them—using self-compassion, honesty, humor, warmth, and respect. I've been through my fair share of struggles too grief/loss, job loss, caring for loved ones with illness, and new ones come at me each day. All of these events allow me to better sit, listen, and understand you
