10 out of 10 recommend! Brand strikes a balance of openness and warmth while being surgically astute and able to dig into specific themes to help you arrive at your own answers. I have never felt more comfortable with a therapist, and I have had many. He is an amazing listener that is able to get you talking while asking just the right questions to encourage deep introspection. I am always shocked when our hour has come to an end because I feel like I am just getting started. He's excellent!

I genuinely enjoy my sessions with Brandon. Every week before the session, I have the thought that I have nothing to share that week because there was not much going on and yet somehow we end up talking for the full session. His presence is very welcoming and warm and our sessions are always full of laughter.

My first time meeting with Brandon was an inviting experience. He gave me a space to share my struggles and thoughts, while also following up with detailed questions to help me navigate through them.
