Skip Brenny, MS (He/Him/His) recently graduated from the University of Wisconsin's Marriage & Family Therapy Program in 2022.

​

Prior to grad school, Skip spent 15 rewarding but unfulfilling years in corporate America. Inspired by stories like, “Under the Tuscan Sun” and “Eat. Pray. Love.” Skip embarked on a 4-year sabbatical with hopes to both find himself and fulfilling work. Nothing goes quite like the movies; but Skip developed a profound appreciation for relationship, universal connection, and human consciousness. This led him to where he is today.

 

Skip understands the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences and is trauma-informed. As a gay man, Skip’s identity and journey offers insight into privilege and oppression. Skip has deep empathy for anyone who has felt othered or been impacted by oppression and injustice. He also pauses to understand his own privilege, and frequently reminds himself of that the irony of privilege is that it's invisible to those who have it.

 

Skip brings a uniquely personal, fresh, and informal approach to working with clients. His experiential style is fed using a blend of theories and approaches; he is not afraid to be blunt and always leads from the heart. Skip leverages his own personal experiences with various types of unconventional, holistic healing and will offer guidance and referrals anytime appropriate.

 

Most importantly, Skip insists levity, humor, and laughter are essential parts of healing, and this is woven into everything he does.
