About Provider

About Eric

My name is Eric Thanh Brodsky, and I have a background in social work. I earned my bachelor's in social work in 2024 and my master's in social work in 2025 from Temple University. Working with young adults and adults is my specialty. Everyone within this demographic has brought unique challenges to the table, like depression, anxiety, sexuality, relationships, and more. For these challenges, I help people create and set goals that are meaningful and achievable to them.

My therapeutic approach is an adaptive one. Constant feedback and active listening are key to providing the best services. A person-focused approach backed by research is key, while tailoring each strategy to fit every person's specific needs. Self-determination is another core value. Seeing where someone is at and working with the right stage of change in mind is key to getting off on the right foot. 

I look forward to meeting new people with varying life experiences. Everyone has something unique to bring to the table, and it's my job to listen, advise, and activate. You will be heard.

Get to know Eric

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?

The loneliness epidemic is one of my key motivators. The general idea is that people need someone to talk to, listen in, and acknowledge them as a person, which has become increasingly rare in this era of technology. 

What types of clients do you work best with? 

Young Adults, and Adults, I tend to work best with becuase of the sustained meaningful conversations allow me to pull the best out of people.

What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process? 

This is a journey, not a race. Every step is meaningful, no matter how small. Therapy is also not a one-stop shop for all problems. One needs to accept that not every strategy is an instant fix, but rather a combination of time and strategies typically is what people need.

What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy? 

Many types of check-ins and rapport building. Trust is key for building a solid foundation, and from a solid foundation, we can build advanced strategies to best assist with their goals.

What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?

Humility, acceptance, selfdetermination, and no judgment are core values to me. 

How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs? 

Constant checks about how a therapeutic method is working. For example, how does this make you feel? How did journaling affect you this week? Were you able to do an alternative thought worksheet at home?
