More about Brandon
- 9 years' experience
- Male
- Psychologist
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) and a Master of Science in Clinical Psychopharmacology (MSCP). I am also a Health Service Psychologist or HSP with the National Register of Health Service Psychology. With over nine years of experience as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC), I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, families, and groups across a wide range of mental health and substance use concerns.
My background in clinical psychopharmacology provides a deeper understanding of the biological underpinnings of mental illness, which I integrate thoughtfully into treatment planning. I work with both adolescents and adults, and I approach therapy holistically — drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, and other evidence-based modalities to meet each client’s unique needs.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
