I’ll bet that past therapy you’ve had has felt like a bunch of crap and a total waste of time, right? So many clients tell me about their negative experiences with past therapists, who “just listened” and “didn’t really show me how to make anything better.” Well, I don’t play that game (you are paying for services, after all, right?). I want you to feel you’ve actually gotten useful skills to improve your situation. I often work with clients with a range of problems and concerns, although I specialize in work with the LGBTQ+ community. I have extensive experience in individual therapy, couples therapy and group therapy.
I’ll show you how to identify and challenge the “stinkin’ thinkin'”, which contributes to feelings of depression and anxiety, substance use, and even problems in couples’ relationships. Many clients have told me that I am the “first therapist, who has ever helped” them and often tell me that they feel significant relief even after our first session.
We can make all sorts of excuses and justifications for keeping ourselves depressed and anxious. If you’re really ready to get to work with someone, who truly cares, I’d be honored to work with you. Clients have told me they love my sense of humor and down-to-earth approach. Let’s get together and help you achieve the peace of mind you deserve.
Here’s what previous clients have said about their work with me in counseling:
“Not only is Brian good at what he does, but his understanding and genuineness speaks volumes. He’s helped me put so many things in perspective, and I actually feel more confident for it. So, thank you for helping me find some of my confidence again, Brian. I almost forgot what it looked like.”
“I am very happy that I got Brian as my counselor. He has helped me more than I ever thought was possible. He is kind and helps me understand my feelings. He is easy to talk to, and he is funny, which helps me feel more comfortable. I would 100% recommend him!”
”Brian is such an amazing listener and helps me think outside of the box with my concerns! I highly recommend Brian and appreciate all he has done in just a couple of visits!”
”Brian…he has put up with so much of my crap for so long. He let me have my moments, my meltdowns. Then he gently, and sometimes not as gently (but still very kindly) helped me start really examining my anxieties, fears, my sources of different hurts, and places where I could grow. He travelled with me through a lot of self-discovery, cheered me on, helped me learn tools to draw on, and refused to let me give up on myself. And as things began to open up, as I began to actually start finding the other side, finding happiness, finding the extra space inside my head and my body to breathe and think, he was there to keep me going and offer me more support and further cheering, and some therapeutic “love”, if you will. Brian sees me through rough patches and thankfully now mostly checks in every couple of weeks just to see how I’m doing. With all the tools I have gathered, the confidence I have learned, and the knowledge that I can reach out to Brian in case I have questions or need someone to hear me for a moment, life has become so much easier. He’s funny, kind, straightforward, and probably the best therapist I have ever had.”
