Brendan Miedema, LSW, is dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges by offering compassionate, evidence-based care to those seeking mental health support in Ohio. He provides individual therapy to children, adolescents, and adults, creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can safely explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, or navigating the complexities of trauma, Brendan partners with clients to develop practical skills and coping strategies tailored to their personal goals.
Brendan has a particular passion for working with individuals experiencing ADHD, childhood behavior concerns, and PTSD/trauma. His clinical approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness techniques to help clients better understand and manage symptoms, build resilience, and improve overall emotional well-being. Brendan also integrates faith-based treatment for those who wish to incorporate their spiritual beliefs into the healing process, offering a holistic approach to mental health care.
In addition to his work with general mental health concerns, Brendan is experienced in supporting populations such as children in foster care or adoptive homes, individuals with developmental disabilities, and those on the Autism Spectrum. He values creating an inclusive, patient-centered environment where every person feels seen and supported in their therapeutic journey.
Outside of his professional role, Brendan enjoys spending time with his wife, playing disc golf, and connecting with friends. He’s also passionate about music and pop culture, which often inspires meaningful conversations in and out of the therapy room.
