Brayden Bergum (he/him)
Mental Health Therapist
LMSW
As a therapist at Heart and Solutions, my goal is to offer a safe, supportive space where individuals and families can navigate life’s many challenges. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from St. Ambrose University and a Bachelor’s in Social Work from Buena Vista University, experiences that allowed me to work with a wide range of populations. My background includes work in schools, housing programs, and the child welfare system—experience that I now bring into the therapy room with care and intention. I believe that building a genuine connection with your therapist is key to meaningful growth. I bring an approachable style and a steady commitment to helping you reach your goals, whatever they may be. Let’s take the next step together—one conversation at a time.
Brayden is open to working with clients from all communities we serve in alignment with Heart and Solutions’ Commitment to Inclusion.
Brayden is especially passionate about working with the following communities and issues: Bisexual Allied, Body Positivity, Gay Allied, Immigrant Allied, Lesbian Allied, Non-Binary Allied, Queer Allied, Racial Justice Allied, Sex Worker Allied, Transgender Allied, Veteran Allied

Meet Brayden
When I’m not at work I’m usually reading, hanging out with friends, or playing some of my favorite video games. I’m also a HUGE music fan and can enjoy just about any song/band, so you’ll often find me at concerts as well. When it comes to social justice, I have a passion for advocacy against human trafficking. Getting involved with my community is important to me and I do my best to attend events on a regular basis.
