Hello and welcome to BetterHelp! My name is Brian and I applaud you for beginning this journey we call therapy. Whether you’re new to the experience or you’ve been in therapy before, I am here to help, support and be with you along your journey to wellness and wholeness. I have a Master’s in Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work in Manhattan and over 25 years of professional experience. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and have engaged individuals, teens and couples in a variety of settings addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, interpersonal conflict as well as professional and vocational issues. I have also helped clients help themselves improve their self-esteem, coping skills, moods, adjust to major life changes as well as improve problem-solving and decision-making skills. Over the years I have used and custom created many therapeutic approaches, techniques and helped improve clients’ perspectives to help them move forward. Clients are encouraged to actively participate in the therapy process by setting their own goals and evaluating progress towards achieving them. Finally, I am concerned about all aspects of a client’s life including your physical, mental and spiritual health and well-being. I am informal, transparent, and very open; ask me anything! Nothing is “off-limits” during good therapy, and I encourage clients to bring any issues/concerns they may have to the sessions. I value being a very safe, accepting haven for my clients. I see individuals over 18 y/o and couples. Thank you for allowing me to share my background with you. I have weekday early morning (6:00!) and daytime hours to meet your needs and look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Great at listening and offering advice on how to cope with mental stresses.
Brian is fantastic. He worked with me on a variety of issues that I've been struggling with. I have made great progress with his support.
Been a very helpful resource. Very smooth and consistent.
Brian is an empowering therapist and highly recommended! Brian is flexible in approaches to therapy and eager to make it work well for your needs with a seemingly infinite amount of curiosity and compassion. I very much appreciated Brian's depth of knowledge in the spiritual and cultural realms – this kind of integration is something I needed for this work to be meaningful and Brian was always able to deliver know and impactful connections. I'll miss our weekly chats but I'm looking forward to continuing the work from where we left off with many of me goals advancing. I am confident he will be a quality therapist for your goals too!
Listens incredibly well, very patient and well-grounded.
Brian is a great communicator. He has done a great job listening to my issues and giving very useful feedback.
