What Authenticity Means to Brenton Guice, MA, RDH, PLPC

I’m SO excited to bring you this week’s What Authenticity Means To Me conversation with Brenton!

I’m also excited to announce that I’m taking the leap and turning this series into a podcast! You’ll still be able to access all of the past and future posts/episodes here, but you can now ALSO listen and share on other platforms!

And if it’s not available on other platofrms yet because I messed something up on the tech end…stay tuned until next week - I’m a one-woman show here! Any and all advice about starting a podcast on Substack is welcome.

This series is one of my favorite things ever. It is truly the gift that keeps on giving, and today’s conversation is a prime example of that. Brenton and I talked about everything from how he became a therapist (it’s such a good story!), to how he found the name for his practice, to showing up authentically on TikTok, to coming out, and much more.

Brenton Guice (he/him) is a provisionally licensed professional counselor based in Kansas City, MO. After spending 11 years as a dental hygienist, Brenton followed an intuitive calling to become a therapist. He now owns and operates his own practice, The Mental Hug, where he specializes in helping individuals navigate trauma, grief, and LGBTQIA+ journeys to rediscover their inner light and authenticity. When he's not working, you can often find Brenton singing his favorite songs on repeat with an iced coffee in hand, talking his husband's ear off, or snuggling with his fur babies.
