Bengie Bryant, MA, CSAC, QMHP
Hello! My name is Bengie Bryant, founder and CEO of Brighter Visions Training & Wellness, LLC in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
I obtained my undergraduate degree from Norfolk State University after completing my studies in Sociology with a concentration in Criminal Justice. Then, in December 2009, I went back to my alma mater and earned a master’s degree in Urban Education with a concentration in Community Counseling.
In 2007, I became a certified substance abuse counselor. I have worked in the human services field for more than 14 years, helping children, families, and individuals work through life’s challenges. I have also been a child protective services worker, a foster care worker, and a family services supervisor.
In addition to my work experience, I have provided contract services in the private sector, counseling and educating individuals about substance abuse. I also have experience working as a clinician in the mental health field.
In July 2019, I founded Brighter Visions Training & Wellness, LLC. I wanted to give individuals hope where they had none and brighten their outlook on life where their visions had grown dim because of handling the everyday challenges of life. I believe that we all struggle and need help in understanding and finding our purpose in life.
My purpose is to help all individuals achieve their optimal self by utilizing the necessary tools and resources to be the best that they can be and succeed in this thing we call life.
My Personal Note
Yesterday is gone, but tomorrow gives us all the opportunity to start fresh. You cannot move forward if you are looking back, because you will end up stuck in the same place.
