I am Brandy Stewart, a licensed clinical social worker in California with 19 years of clinical experience serving children, adolescents, transition age youth, adults and families. I help individuals who struggle with managing relationship issues resolve interpersonal conflicts to promote healthy overall functioning. I also help people manage emotional distress and conflict, as they heal from the past, in order to achieve a greater wellbeing.
During our initial session, we will spend time getting to know one another, and focusing on the experiences that have led you to therapy. Together we will create a plan for ongoing sessions.
My several years of experience and clinical training has strengthen my ability to tailor my interventions to your individual needs, to support your progress, growth and success.
I have used psychodynamic theory in practice to help clients gain insight into their unconscious motivations, unresolved conflicts, and the impact of past experiences on their present behavior.
I have used cognitive behavioral theory in practice with children and adults who have experienced trauma, depression and anxiety.
