Hope Empowered Therapy

Hi, I’m Bryan Encarnação, and I’m so glad you’re here. I became a therapist because I’ve always been drawn to the deeper layers of human experience—how people heal, grow, and connect. My work is rooted in the belief that therapy isn’t just about getting through challenges—it’s about building a life and relationships that feel meaningful, grounded, and real. I work with individuals navigating stress, burnout, emotional overwhelm, or identity shifts. Whether you’re feeling stuck in old patterns or just trying to reconnect with yourself, I use a blend of experiential therapy, CBT, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you make sense of what’s beneath the surface and move toward clarity, confidence, and emotional balance. I also support couples who are tired of feeling distant, walking on eggshells, or stuck in the same arguments. Using the Gottman Method, I help partners strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and create a more secure and fulfilling connection. With families, I take a systems-based approach—helping each member feel heard while uncovering the dynamics that are keeping the family stuck. Together, we build healthier patterns, deeper understanding, and stronger relationships. My style is honest, collaborative, and grounded. I’m not here to “fix” you—I’m here to walk alongside you, challenge what’s not working, and support the growth that’s ready to happen. Whether you’re seeking therapy for yourself, your relationship, or your family, I’ll meet you where you are and offer practical tools that match your unique goals. If you’re ready to explore what’s next, I’d love to connect. Let’s schedule a free video consultation and take that first step together.
