Brody graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Minor in Gender and Health. He went on to receive his Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan as well. While working on his master’s, Brody completed a social work internship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry within Michigan Medicine. He continued his work there as a Social Work Fellow afterward and worked with children, adolescents, and families dealing with anxiety, depression, OCD, and trauma. After a year, Brody joined Connally Counseling as a clinician and has since become a Clinical Supervisor as well. Brody considers his approach in therapy to be eclectic, meaning to draw from a variety of modalities and training to suit someone’s individual needs. Brody has received training and certifications in a variety of different modalities and techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, TF-CBT, Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Child-Parent Psychotherapy, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy. Brody currently focuses on working with individuals exploring gender and sexuality, seeking gender and sexuality-affirming care, trauma, depression, anxiety, and OCD. Brody is currently working on a joint PhD in Social Work and Clinical Psychology at the University of Michigan.

Brody has been practicing clinician over 8 years.  He believes in meeting clients where they’re at and understanding the meaning behind behaviors. Brody intentionally aims to create a safe and comfortable space for individuals where they are able to grow and understand their stories and experiences. His methods and practice are centered on each individual's goals and working toward a life worth living.

In his spare time, Brody enjoys taking his dog to the dog park, trying new forms of crafts, figuring out where to place his houseplants, and playing video games.
