“Play is the work of the child” -Maria Montessori The concept of play therapy is often confusing to parents. We don’t usually associate playing with something therapeutic. After all, play is something we do for fun. It is not unreasonable for anyone to wonder how playing can help someone address their issues. In fact, it […]
READ MOREWords are very unnecessary, they can only do harm. – Depeche Mode As a therapist you might think that a large part of my job is to help people improve the communication within their marriage and family. You would, of course, be correct. So when is communication actually the wrong approach? In what situation could […]
READ MORELoneliness is the leprosy of modern society. – Mother Theresa I have noticed a significant rise in a general sense of detachment from society as an underlying cause of depression for many patients. While this trend seems to cross gender and cultural lines, I would say that the Millenial Generation (those currently in their late […]
READ MOREI recently had the opportunity to enjoy a family vacation in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. One of the activities we hoped to accomplish while vacationing was a nice hike in the Smoky Mountain National Park. This would be a first for my wife and daughters, and something I haven’t done since I was a young teen. After […]
READ MOREThe family you come from isn’t as important as the family you’re going to have. – Ring Lardner In my practice I often joke with people that “we’re all messed up because we all have parents.” While this is said in jest I have yet to find someone who doesn’t get the joke. The truth […]
READ MOREPeople take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost. – H. Jackson Brown, Jr. Often times when concerned parents bring their teenager in for counseling they can easily recite the long list of what is “wrong” with their child. They can also give me […]

Bryan is an expert who understands how to break down and get to the root of an issue, and his strategies and approach were immensely helpful for my family. Above all, he truly cares about his patients and helps them. I cannot recommend him highly enough!
I highly recommend Bryan for individual and couples therapy. He always made me feel comfortable and I felt like I could be myself which is super important when going to counseling.
In my time in Florida, I had the opportunity to work alongside Bryan in helping families and I believe him to be of high integrity and care with his patients. He demonstrates great knowledge of what each client needs and doesn't just care about the psychology behind the issues the clients face, but deeply cares about the patients. Long-term health is always the goal Bryan seeks to attain for each client. There are few counselors who care about their patients the way Bryan does. I would, and have, recommend him to any family or individual struggling with the issues life brings.
I met with Bryan for about 8 months. I began meeting with him individually (for about 5 months) and for the final 3 months, my partner and I went together. We cannot be any more emphatic when we say that our experience with Bryan was wonderful.
Bryan demonstrates a superb level of care and commitment to his clients. He fosters an environment of openness, honesty, and acceptance that allows clients to confront their flaws and limitations in order to heal and make changes for the better. It is clear that Bryan is in this profession for all the right reasons and is gifted as a counselor. I would strongly recommend him to anyone.
Thank you Bryan!
To put it simply Bryan is a superstar! Yes, he is an excellent therapist...I have several family members and friends who have been referred to him, and he is absolutely wonderful. He has and uses a Christian foundation with his counseling and has a calm, pleasant demeanor that puts his patients at ease. He is insightful with his approach to therapy and I would recommend him to any colleague, friend, or patient without reservation.
I started working with Bryan 7 months prior to writing this review. I went alone in hopes that he could help with some relationship issues I was unable to solve on my own. Bryan has been nothing short of a miracle in my life. My story is still being written, but I look forward to my appointments with him. He is calm, kind-hearted, and genuinely wants me to succeed. He looks at every angle and gives guidance/suggestions that only betters my situation. Bryan is extremely intelligent and knows how to help people. Better than that he enjoys helping people. I will continue to refer him to anyone and everyone. True companionate people are not just hard to find but he does with the intent of actually building his patients up. I can not say enough great things about him, and strongly recommend him to anyone in need.
My husband and I met with Bryan for about 5 months. The time and money we spent were without a doubt, one of the very best investments we have made for our marriage. The care and commitment with which Bryan treats his clients are outstanding. He patiently, kindly, and honestly helps clients understand situations or wounds with clarity to which he offers sound and concrete steps towards healing. Bryan helped my husband and I to grow as individuals as well as together as a couple, and our marriage was strengthened tremendously.
After our marriage counseling concluded, I continued to meet with Bryan individually for about 3 months. Bryan helped me to understand my need for a better relationship with God which sent me on a journey that completely changed my life. I continue to live with the same struggles (from an incurable medical issue) yet I no longer suffer from the debilitating depression it used to cause me. I will never be able to adequately thank Bryan for the gift his counseling gave me and my marriage.
I would highly recommend Bryan to anyone.
Thank you, Bryan!
