Hi, I'm Brian. Thanks for reaching out for help. As a social worker, I've been helping all different kinds of people for many years--from volunteering at a crisis counseling center to caring for adults with severe mental health conditions. My approach is pretty simple: YOU are the expert on you. In other words, I'm not here to tell you what's wrong with you. I'm here to listen to your story and help you identify your own strengths so you can live a more fulfilled, productive life. This person-centered approach emphasizes treating people with dignity, compassion and respect.
But enough about me. I'd enjoy the opportunity to hear your story. Thanks again for your time and consideration.

I have only had one session so far with Brian. However; He listened to me and provided me with feedback and I felt like he was actually listening to what I had to say and cared about what I was saying.
He also sent me tools via email after my session to utilize in between our sessions.

In just a few weeks time, Brian has done for me what I spent years trying to do for myself but never feeling like I had the tools to figure it out. My eyes are opened to new techniques, and thought processing. For once I have hope that I just might make it through all this healthier, both physically and especially mentally.

Brian is an excellent choice for many reasons. I feel his approach to learning you, yourself, along with the situation that is causing mental harm at the time is an accurate and effective way to handle mental breaks.
I would recommend him highly to anyone going through life changes.

Brian is kind, supportive and willing to work with you perfectly within your means. He has been able to provide resources both for my mental health and overall home life circumstances.

I think he is great. It has taken me a long time to find a rhythm with therapy, and I have been on and off with it for years. But with Brian, I know that he hears me and offers good advice that I can take with me throughout my day. I trust his insight, and would recommend him to anyone looking to feel better in their journey.

Brian is a good listener. He is encouraging and positive and he helps you come to your own conclusions about things. He directed me to look at my strengths and encouraged me to enjoy the relationship I'm in rather than letting my doubts from previous failures hold me back. I appreciate him.
