The Brave Life Therapy

Ive never left a review for a therapist. I’ve been utilizing therapy for 30 years, and on a quest for the perfect fit. I thought I found that at BraveLife Therapy with Courtney Harrough. We did months worth of work together; however, as time went on she became harsh, promised to try various forms of therapy with me with ZERO follow through, switched practices, increased her price from $60 per session to $140, and then changed her schedule with ZERO warning. None of these changes were told to me in person - I had to find out via email. After expressing concern for her inconsistency as a therapist, tactfully and respectfully, I was let go by CP, had my file handed off, and it was all clearly retaliatory. She is a DANGER to clients who are experiencing distress, abandonment, trust issues, and great turmoil. Horribly inconsistent and lacking in empathy. She made many promises that she never backed up, and the lack of follow through was entirely unacceptable. I cannot express how disappointed I am in her as a human being, as well as her supervisor Pat. When I reached out to file a complaint she was condescending and unhelpful. Offered zero solutions outside of having a conversation that was only meant to further protect the therapist - NOT me. Run far away from these individuals and this dangerous practice. It is not a safe place for those experiencing trauma.

Jess is, in my experience, incompetent and dangerous as a marriage counselor for high conflict couples. In late July of 2023, we sought out her help. Instead, she inflicted uneccessary emotional trauma on my family from which we are still recovering. The contempt I saw in her face and heard in her tone after only briefly meeting with each of us separately causes me to suspect a problem with her projecting something personal into the session. She demonstrated ill-informed bias by calling in law enforcement to manage non-violent emotional distress in a therapeutic setting. My current therapist, our subsequent marriage counselor, a social worker, and the social worker she sent to my home have all verbally recognized the innapropriateness of and harm caused by her missteps. Two of those have encouraged us to file a report with the licensing board. I don't typically write reviews, but this felt far too important to not do so.

I have known Jennifer, owner of The Brave Life Therapy, for about ten years professionally and personally. She truly is a No B.S. therapist (and person!) and works unbelievably hard for her clients, staff, and practice. I have not hesitated to refer clients to her, especially with her professional expertise. Knowing her, this high quality therapy easily carries over to her expectations for staff as well. If you are on the fence, definitely reach out!

The Brave Life Therapy staff is so wonderful! They truly care about creating a safe and welcoming environment for their clients and strive to produce the best outcomes. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for therapy!

As a professional colleague of Jennifer Vincent, I highly recommend The Brave Life Therapy for the compassionate and competent care that they provide clients. Their inclusive and affirming approach helps clients feel welcome and cared for.

I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and I have collaborated with several therapists for comprehensive patient care. I highly recommend the therapy staff led by Jennifer Vincent. Not only do they provide a safe environment for ALL but are passionate about education for the community as well!

I recommend Jennifer and her team! As a business owner myself, I know the dedication and excellence it requires to keep things running. Jennifer's dedication to her team and her clients is invaluable, and this correlates to the work they do with their clients.
