Hello, I'm Brian! Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia, an approved Tele-Mental Health provider in Florida, and a Certified Keto and Intermittent Fasting Coach, I bring over two decades of experience in mental health and substance use counseling to our sessions. For the past 22-years, I've dedicated myself to helping individuals, families, and couples navigate their mental health journeys, and for the last 18 years, I've been doing so as a counselor. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I believe in the power of understanding how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected and how they impact our overall well-being. Together, we'll develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, helping you gain insight and make meaningful changes in your life.
