About me
I am Dr. Brian Burgess, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois and a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the states of California and Hawaii. I have worked as a mental health counselor for over 10 years. I obtained my MA in clinical psychology from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in 2009 and was licensed as a clinical counselor shortly thereafter. I earned my PsyD in clinical psychology at the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in 2017. I ran a group private practice and mental health student training center in Chicago from 2009 until June of 2017 at which time I moved to Northern California. In early 2020 I acquired a second residence/office in Riverside county in Southern California. I am a mental health generalist with a wide range of therapeutic training, skills and experiences. Areas of focus have included family systems therapy, client centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior skills, motivational counseling, individual counseling, group counseling, couples counseling, LGBTQIA affirming psychology, psychological assessment, developmental disability assessment and treatment including diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders, and most recently I have been working with patients in a forensic setting. My private practice is built around diversity, respect, caring for the individual and professionalism in all aspects of my work. I welcome you to peruse my profile and set up an appointment with me if you believe I am a good fit for your particular needs. Thank you and I wish you all the best.

Dr. Burgess is VERY understanding, catches on quick, is very respectful. You do not have to explain things to him over and over because he's on it. I recommend him if you need a good listener.

Dr. Brian Burgess is an exceptionally talented therapist. He's highly knowledgable and experienced in his field, and a genuine pleasure to work with. I really love his straightforward, down to earth attitude and his ability to challenge me in all the right ways to address the patterns of thinking I have that are getting in the way of me achieving my goals. I feel incredibly lucky to have found him, two huge thumbs up.
