I have only been working with Brian for a short while but after the first session, I felt like I had known him for much longer. He’s a very kind and warm person to open up to, and adapts the sessions to whatever my needs may be. If you need someone to talk to, Brian is a safe and reliable outlet. He also takes time in between sessions to send me uplifting messages and genuinely takes the time to make me feel like I’m more than just a “patient.” Highly highly recommend!
