(he/him)
Hello. My name is Brian Kaufman. I am a licensed clinical social worker. I am licensed in California with over 20 years of professional experience. I believe in treating everyone with dignity, respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My commitment to you is to be by your side every step of the way. I believe there is goodness inside of everyone and I will be sure to point out to you where that goodness is inside of you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. But I will tell it to you straight exactly what you need to hear and I will put you to work.
My experience and expertise. I have treated a lot of clients with very severe mental illness. There isn't much I haven't seen before.
I work best with adult men. primarily mentally ill but not necessarily. I handle relationship but also work related issues. My therapy style is eclectic but I do lean a lot towards CBT and reality therapy. My mindset is always to get to the root of the problem but also ensure that the client learns about themselves in the process.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have a great deal of experience with a variety of mental illness and relationship issues. I will listen and better understand your issue and together we will get to core of the issue.
