Job W. Brunat, LMHC, NCC, QS

Founder, Owner, and Clinical Director |
Doctoral Candidate in Healthcare Administration

Job W. Brunat has built his ​25 year career around helping people recognize that their challenges do not have to define their futures. A mental health counselor licensed in six states—New York, Missouri, Georgia, Arizona, Massachusetts, and Florida—he is also a National Certified Counselor, Qualified Supervisor, and doctoral candidate in Healthcare Administration. He brings a commitment to healing and service to his work as a therapist, practice owner, mentor, and mental health advocate.

The son of Haitian immigrants—a mother who was a nurse and a father who worked in social work and education—Job grew up with examples of service that shaped his own calling. He began working in human services at age 17 with Kids In Distress and later earned his master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. His professional journey has included roles serving military members, veterans, and families through the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Veterans Affairs. He worked with the United States Marine Corps and United States Coast Guard as a Tier III credentialed clinician, the highest level of clinical credentialing within those programs. These experiences deepened his understanding of trauma, resilience, family relationships, and the pressures people often carry silently.

Since establishing Challenges Conquered Counseling in 2018, Job has developed a diverse group practice with three offices—in Fort Lauderdale and Jacksonville, Florida, and Randolph, Massachusetts—along with telehealth services throughout Florida. His clinical work focuses on trauma, anxiety, men’s mental health, relationship challenges, and the emotional needs of high-achieving professionals. He creates space for people who are accustomed to being strong for everyone else to acknowledge their own needs and seek support.

As a Haitian American clinical director and business owner, Job recognizes the importance of representation in healthcare. His leadership demonstrates a path into the profession and practice ownership for emerging clinicians who may not often see their backgrounds reflected in leadership. He has mentored more than 50 clinicians through their journey to full state licensure, extending his impact through the communities and clients they serve. Through clinical supervision, mentorship, and opportunities for professional growth, he helps prepare the next generation of counselors to serve with compassion, confidence, and accountability.

Job’s vision for care extends beyond the therapy office. His community involvement includes men’s mental health advocacy, Self Love Saturdays programming, and participation in conversations about mental health within the Haitian community, including serving as a Haitian Mental Health Summit moderator. As Vice President of Mindfully H.E.R.—Healing, Expressing, Releasing—he also contributes to efforts to expand access to mental health support and wellness resources. Across these roles, he works to make conversations about emotional well-being more approachable and seeking help more acceptable.
