Brelee Anderson

You don’t need to have your life figured out before coming to therapy. You can show up overwhelmed, unsure where to start, or with a story that takes a few detours. We’ll find a place to begin together.

I’m Brelee, a therapist intern at Sollars & Associates pursuing my master’s in clinical psychology at the Michigan School of Psychology. I practice under supervision and bring curiosity, warmth, honesty, and a sense of humor into my work. Therapy makes room for difficult conversations, but it can also make room for laughter. Sometimes both happen in the same sentence.

Before entering the mental health field, I served in the U.S. Coast Guard for 20 years. I’ve also worked with adolescents through career coaching and athletics, and my background includes resiliency training. Those experiences taught me to listen, adapt, and appreciate how differently people respond to pressure and change. They also taught me that looking like you have everything handled doesn’t always mean you feel that way.

I want to understand how life feels from your perspective. What have you been carrying? What keeps happening that you wish would change? What helped you get through an earlier chapter but feels less helpful now? Together, we can explore your experiences and patterns with compassion and an honest look at how they affect your life today.

My style is down-to-earth and engaged. I’ll listen closely, ask questions, and offer another perspective. I may gently challenge you when it could help, and I welcome your honesty with me, too. You can tell me when something doesn’t fit, when you disagree, or when you need a different approach. You don’t have to give the “right” answer.

I’m especially interested in experiences that people find difficult to explain or that are often misunderstood or stigmatized. I want you to have room to talk about the parts of your life you may hesitate to share elsewhere. Your history, relationships, strengths, fears, and values all deserve attention.

My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply and make changes that feel meaningful to you. Bring your questions, your uncertainty, and yourself as you are. We can work from there.
